ARTICLE: Whose $BEJ(Bnformation society”?
Was WSIS worth it? The general verdict on the recent United Nations
World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) held in December 2003 was
a thumbs-down. The Summit outcomes were limited after an arduous and
expensive process. However, argues Anriette Esterhuysen, APC's executive
director, from the perspective of many civil society organisations that
participated actively, the WSIS has created a new opportunity for
solidarity across ideological, sectoral and geographical divides. - APCNews
