WSIS raises awareness

The WSIS has started and it’s everywhere. Most major news related web sites have stories about some aspect of the digital divide issue and ICTs for development. Imagine if it were always this way…
Luckily, the Internet Governance issue was resolved (for now) before the summit started. The US retains its control. Whew! Don’t want to lose that stability and innovation! I fail to see the logic in these arguments, as do others apparently. Nevertheless, I’m glad they got it out of the way because I do think that there are more pressing issues that need to be addressed and this could have overshadowed the whole summit.
I assume the press coverage will continue over the next few days and I’ll be following it closely. After that… Back to obscurity?
