More than ever before, we depend on
telecommunications services to conduct our
economic, cultural and social lives. But, after
100 years of managing and controlling this
industry to safeguard the interests of all
Canadians, recent government decisions are
leading us to a communications future that doesn't include us all.
Whether it is about access or affordability,
security or sovereignty, the essays in this book
will be a wake-up call to anyone wondering how
telecommunications policy affects our daily lives.

While educators look for ways to incorporate a
powerful learning medium into their practice,
millions of youth are growing up in an online
frontier where the social and legal rules haven't
been written yet. At the same time, we are seeing
a trend in the increasing use of surveillance
technologies-whether it be cameras, fingerprints,
or DNA databases-both at home and at school.
Privacy vs. connectivity; surveillance vs.
security-the long term implications of these
trade-offs can only be imagined. But the message
is clear that social, legal and educational
institutions are having a hard time setting
boundaries between what is acceptable and what is not.
This issue of OS/OS explores some of the issues
arising out of the new technologies enveloping
the daily lives of youth, especially in the
education context. It's a whole new world for Generation @.
