CSPP's Readiness Guide for Living in the Networked World
Developed by The Computer Systems Policy Project (CSPP) and published in 1998, this self-assessment tool is designed to help individuals and communities determine how prepared they are to participate in the "Networked World." The guide measures the prevalence and integration of ICTs in homes, schools, businesses, health care facilities, and government offices, with additional focus on competition among access providers, speed of access, and government policy.
