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.

over, and local opportunities are created, all hope and optimism could 
be rather misplaced. Read the eleven page report.
