[APCPress] [APCNews] Article: Was WSIS worth it?

[Karen Higgs]

ARTICLE: Whose “information society”?

Was WSIS worth it? The general verdict on the recent United Nations 
World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) held in December 2003 was 
a thumbs-down. The Summit outcomes were limited after an arduous and 
expensive process. However, argues Anriette Esterhuysen, APC's executive 
director, from the perspective of many civil society organisations that 
participated actively, the WSIS has created a new opportunity for 
solidarity across ideological, sectoral and geographical divides. - APCNews
