4.  NTIAのTIIAP計画

 もう一つ、次世代インターネットというような先端を行くものではないが、インターネットの活用を促進するための助成制度について触れておく。1994年に開始された商務省傘下のNTIA(National Telecommunications and Information Administration)のTIIAP(Telecommunications and Information  Infrastructure Assistance Program )計画(http://www.ntia.doc.gov/otiahome/tiiap/index.html)である。これは、公共や非営利の団体への助成によって、情報通信を通じた地域コミュニティーの振興を図ろうとするものである。94年以来99年度採択分を含めて、421件のプロジェクトが助成を受けており、助成額は1億3,580万ドルで、マッチング資金は2億300万ドル。以下に、99年度の助成の一覧を挙げるが、702件の応募の中から選ばれた43件に対して1,760万ドル(括弧内の助成額の合計)が与えられ、事業規模としてはその倍を超える3,860万ドルになっている。注意すべき点は、1件当たりの金額が小さく、コミュニティーでの情報化の必要性に基づく提案が、自発的に行われてきていると言うところである。
