Abstract
Relies on critical theories of technology and democratic disclosure to construct normative communication principles for the development of the national information infrastructure. Suggests that efforts to privatize the information highway, which are currently underway, undermine the network′s long‐range potential to encourage citizen‐to‐citizen discussion of public issues.Keywords
