The current proposal is a follow-up project of Surveying the Digital Future with UCLA and other countries in the past two years. We hope to build on the previous research results and findings and extend the investigation into the four interdependent levels individual, community, national, and global of Internet-related issues, from the theoretical, topical, and methodological perspectives. We conducted a survey in 2002 and compared the results with Hong Kong and Mainland China. We also analyzed the 2000 survey results and did a comparative study with other participating countries. A more qualitative study on the market of digital convergence was also performed. Policy implications were discussed in this study. : Internet survey, comparative study, digital convergence, policy implications proposal : Summary, report, : CV of all part icipants 3
