New book from communications activists
highlights priorities for world summit on the
information society
.(APCNews: 24/09/2003)
"There is little doubt that access to
information and communications technologies (ICTs)
is expanding, yet this process excludes the
majority of people in developing countries. Many
who do have access are unable to use it freely
to promote their social, economic and political
interests. When people gain access to these
technologies, it is mostly as consumers, rather
than owners or creators. The growing
concentration of ownership and control of ICT
can limit its remarkable potential for social
empowerment," says APC in a new book launched
last week at the third preparatory conference
(PrepCom) in the run-up to the first ever United
Nations world conference on the information.
