A joint endeavor of OneWorld and the Digital Divide Network, Digital Opportunity Channel is an online clearinghouse for news, ideas, and opportunities related to the use of information and communication technology for sustainable development, social change, economic opportunity, and a better quality of life.  It is a resource for organizations and individuals working to bridge the digital divide in the developing world as well as for governments, businesses, academics, and civil society stakeholders wanting to keep up to speed on the latest breakthroughs, initiatives, and debates in the field.
