[Pal-dc] You're invited to A Comprehensive Strategy for Universal Internet Access (Nov 13, 2018)

[Subbiah Arunachalam]

Dear Esmeralda:

I live in Chennai, India. I will not be able to attend this event. Is there
a way I can have remote access? Please advise.
Several years ago I wrote a chapter on *Public Access to the Internet* in a
book titled *Word Matters*., which was released at WSIS 2, Tunis. I am
attaching the document.
