What's this?
Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user
has on the current conversation.
The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd
row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera).
Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group
is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the
left, in their corresponding group.
Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the
number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative
one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their
relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

I think this model of subsidization of this new commodity (as we must think of Net access as a commodity rather than a luxury now) will become 'a' new paradigm for other communities to adopt. It's similar to what happened in the early stages of telephony, and as their constituents increasingly clamor for equal access to online information, policy makers will need to come to difficult decisions like this. If they do not, their communities will lose out on new opportunities and free-access to information. Not to mention the fact that businesses and even government entities are continuing to move information and access to services strictly through the Internet. And as education moves into a hybrid-online form, the have-nots must have the same access as the haves, or the gulf or 'digital divide' will continue to expand.
