The Internet opens the gates of education to anyone who can get her hands on a computer. This is not always a trivial task, but the mere feasibility redefines the playing field.

The Internet opens the gates of education to anyone who can get her hands on a computer. This is not always a trivial task, but the mere feasibility redefines the playing field. The 'this' refers to getting your hands on a computer. So it is saying on the one hand, education is now open to anyone who can get her hands on a computer however, this is not always easy to do.
