information superhighway
(Or "Infobahn", "Info Strada") The name
coined by US Vice-president Al Gore in the early 1990s for the
emerging high-speed global communications network capable of
carrying voice, data, video, and other services around the
world. These services use satellite, copper cable, optical
fibre, cellular telecommunications, and are accessible via
set-top boxes or suitably equipped computers.
