Two case studies were conducted over almost two years within the Computers in Homes scheme, which offers free home internet for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it. The broader social policy context in New Zealand is rich with assumptions about a causal relationship between internet access and positive community outcomes. This study aimed to expand the empirical basis of relevance to these assumptions with a view to better-informed policy and practice, and to provide further leads for research in similar settings.
