<br>
I'm going to answer also to a former post where you said that
you saw how Isoc makes great efforts to help developping
countries, in the field of capacity building and GIX creation.<br>
I beg your pardon. I could not find time enough to answer
earlier.<br>
<br>
Please, don't understand what I'm saying as a personal
reproach. A big part of my family was colonial actors in
Vietnam at the beginning of the XXth century. I can insure
that the most part of the colons were absolutely sure that
they were helping the country where they were living.<br>

connected people number is 15,6% compared to 78,6% in North
America?<br>
You can verify the stats there:

It's not incompatible with a handful advanced countries, some
great IT companies and a lot of excellent researchers. </big></font><br>

Did you ever try to subscribe an Internet connection at an
African ISP? Or to buy African domain names?<br>
<br>
Send me 693 €, I'll buy for you a mctim.cg. Sorry, mctim.cd is
cheaper: only 115 €.<br>

Fadi Chehadé explains :
There is no war between ITU and ICANN, and there will not.
We must engage in a new season of cooperation, in the respect of each role.

The first part of the WCIT shows disagrement between North and South.
Because Northern governments and companies would be satisfied without
regulation, as in the great era of the free seas and freedom of commerce.
And South cannot access and build Net services in such conditions. Too
expensive...

Do you have any evidence of this assertion?
I'm currently wearing a t-shirt that says "Ushahidi", an example (one
of hundreds I could name) of net services coming from Africa.
