APC's reflection report on WSIS / Rapport de reflection d'APC sur le SMSI / Informe de reflexion de APC sobre la CMSI Beyond the dust and heat: APC looks at Tunis and Geneva in perspective Some months after the heat and dust settled on the Tunisian skyline, APC has come up with its evaluation of what the four-year World Summit on the Information Society could hold out for people on the planet. And our reflections throw up a mixed bag. There are some positive signs emerging from WSIS, it suggests. But unless active steps are taken to ensure that vested interests don't take over, and local opportunities are created, all hope and optimism could be rather misplaced. Read the eleven page report.
