Practically non-existent 15 years ago, mobile phones
are everywhere. The internet provides endless streams of online information. We
are offered a bewildering array of programmes and services as high-capacity
digital systems bring together the formerly separate worlds of broadcasting and
telecommunications. This revolution in information technology is creating the
information society - at home, at school and at work. The European Union and its
policies and actions have guided and supported the revolution since the
beginning.
