"ICT Policy: A Beginner's Handbook" - a new book from APC South Africa, December 18 2003 -- APC's new book lays out the issues and dispenses with the jargon to encourage more people to get involved in ICT policy processes.
This book is for people who feel that ICT policy is important but don't know much about it, e.g. a government official worried about a gap in her technical knowledge of how the internet works, a human-rights worker concerned that his need to send secure email is being challenged by national government policy, a citizen fed up with paying exorbitant rates for dial-up internet access and ready to organise. "The APC handbook is not a map of the ICT policy terrain," says editor Chris Nicol, "but it *is* a compass."
