Abstract

This paper attempts to develop estimates of the amount and pattern of home use that mught ensue if home information/computer systems were introduced into the contemporary social system. This discussion is not intended to have technological orientation. The services described are possibl, and exist, on a small scale. The prolems involved in duilding a large system which provides multiple services are intentionally omitted. Also the effects of different regulatory climates are not explored in any detall. The primary concern is with the market for home use of wored city services.
