Making the WSIS gathering accessible to everyone online
Various groups are working hard to share and capture the WSIS experience online. As the United Nation's World Summit on the Information Society concludes today, it is important that highlights and current developments that are taking place in Tunis are made available to everyone.
The Association for Progressive Communications (APC - Internet and ICTs for Social Justice and Development) is an international network of civil society organisations that is supporting an ongoing blog of testimonials from WSIS participants.
