==Abstract==
According to the Memorandum of Understanding, the objectives of the Cost 298 Action were defined as follows:
(1) to examine the modalities in which users actually use information and computer technologies (ICTs), to discover their current forms of creativity;
(2) to look ahead to technology related developments in the more medium term; 
(3) to suggest new approaches and methodologies for constructing a more user-driven model of innovation in order to overcome the limitations of current models of ‘user-centered’ development; 
(4) to produce a new phase in interdisciplinary cooperation.
To achieve these goals, the Cost 298 community must ensure that the public at 
large uses broadband technologies widely and effectively. To achieve that goal, a co-
laboratory has been organised to define possible obstacles that prevent meeting this 
target.
