RARE recently commissioned a report on network access to multimedia
information.  This report has now been completed, and is available by
anonymous FTP.  The full report is rather lengthy, so there is a short
summary available as well.

Filenames:  report.doc    Report in Word for Windows 2 format (binary!)
            report.ps     Report in Postscript form

I'd welcome feedback, comment etc.  Discussion of the report is probably
best conducted on the Multimedia Information Services list,
