EXPERT SURVEY
This is a short cross-cultural expert survey for the Network of Centers (NoC) about online connectivity.

What I am looking for:
– Your opinion on what kind of connectivity behavior is common and acceptable in your country.
– Your opinion on connectivity regulations in companies and schools.
– To collect various definitions of online/offline.

Thanks for participating!
