Thanks for this... and congratulations to the authors and sponsors for
this useful publication.

I did take a look at this a couple of weeks ago, and though the
executive summary and some country tables are available for free
download, the entire publication is not. Pity, as the selling price (40
dollars) may be a barrier to sharing this resource within LDCs
themselves...

One would hope that World Bank would have an Open Access policy, as most
(all?) of its publications are probably funded using public funds? I may
be wrong, but it is a hope that such materials--like many ITU
publications--could be shared in the public domain.


Thanks,

Al Alegre
