WSIS
PRICE TAG PUSHES BACK DEVELOPMENT
[Stefania Milan] Information technology must be used
to promote development, but experts are less clear
just how. �We should look at ICT (information and
communications technology) as an enabler of all the
other conditions of development we are moving toward,�
chairman of the United Nations ICT task force Jos�
Mar�a Figueres Olsen said at its meeting in Berlin
last week. The meeting was called in preparation for
the second phase of the World Summit on the
Information Society (WSIS) in Tunisia next year. The
first phase of the conference was held in Geneva last
year.
