Abstract	In January 2005, then-Secretary of Education Rod Paige submitted the Department of Education's revised National Education Technology Plan (NETP) to Congress in compliance with the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). The plan, titled "Toward a New Golden Age in American Education," recommends seven "Action Steps" urging schools to strengthen leadership for technology, to consider innovative budgeting, to support e-learning and virtual schools, to encourage broadband access, to move toward digital content, and to integrate data systems. This report identifies, analyzes, and critiques assumptions underpinning NETP's recommendations. In addition to identifying flaws in key assumptions, this analysis concurrently uncovers embedded advantages for business and privatization supporters. NETP Action Steps is appended. (Contains 1 table and 67 notes.) (ERIC).
