Use what you learned about online access technologies in this chapter to outline several alternatives that the government of Hyderabad should consider developing( perhaps in partnership with local information technology companies) that might increase online access rates for its citizens. Prepare a report of about 200 words in which you discuss at least two of these alternatives.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CJA 315 Use a recent news article on the Internet
