Ohler provides a vision as well as a practical road map for educators wishing to offer extended training in telecommunications to fellow K-12 teachers and their students . Bridging the digital divide means providing access to telecommunications and information and communication technologies ( ICTs ) and promoting their use so that all segments of society can harness the opportunities of the information society . We must also continue to find ways to ensure that rates remain affordable and that telecommunications services remain comparable in all areas of this country . For example , it may prove too unwieldy for both carriers and the Commission to treat incumbents as dominant for their provision of traditional local service but non-dominant for their provision of high-speed telecommunications services . While all these components are extremely important , the secret lies in coupling them with complementary technologies ( telecommunications , messaging , fax , etc. ) and keeping the connection between the actual human beings involved sacred .
