About [Edit]
The Digital Divide Network was launched in December 1999 as a response to the National Digital Divide Summit hosted by U.S. President Bill Clinton. Originally developed by the Benton Foundation and the National Urban League, DDN was designed as an online clearinghouse of news and resources regarding the digital divide.
In February 2003, DDN left the Benton Foundation as part of the new Center for Media & Community [CMC], an institute of Education Development Center, Inc. in Newton, Massachusetts. In December that same year, CMC unveiled a new Digital Divide Network website: an interactive online community featuring an array of interactive collaboration tools to help digital divide activists around the world to work together. DDN offers its members free blogging, news and articles on the digital divide, event announcements, discussion boards and other tools. Membership is free and open to anyone interested in bridging the digital divide. DDN is also home to the DIGITALDIVIDE email discussion group, the Internet`s largest email forum for discussing digital divide issues.
