Great! As someone living in an area with very little Internet availability, I love to see the issue taken seriously.
One point that's entirely missing from the declaration is the possibility of contributing back to the information commons from areas without connectivity. I don't fault the authors, as it seems they were library-centric and face a different set of problems than Wikimedians, but we should rise to the challenge, and help craft a bill of rights for citizens of the world to participate fully, write blogs and wiki articles, send emails, reply to comment threads, and upload media, all with intermittent Internet access.
