Compromissos para o futuro

18 Novembre 2005
Luciano Satler, WACC, Brazil
Ao que tudo indica, quando o Secretario-Geral das Nacoes Unidas deicidiu chamar uma Cupula Mundial da Sociedade de Informacao (CMSI) nao esperava que a movimentacao fosse tao intensa e gerasse tanta participacao e atencao. Varios paises haviam se dado conta que o futuro passaria pela internet, tanto em questoes de poder quanto de desenvolvimento. A pressao na epoca foi devido aa convergencia digital, que jah apontava uma possivel mudanca radical na forma como governos se relacionariam com governados, bem como empresas com seus clientes e empregados. A organizacao que foi selecionada para conduzir a CMSI foi a International Telecommunications Union (ITU), talvez a instituicao, em todo o sistema ONU, com maior presenca do empresariado em suas discussoes e definicoes.
