But what about high level prices of connectivity? And the high
level price of new TLDs?<br>
<br>
How the Western countries could hope that Southern countries
would follow them in Dubaï?<br>
The meeting offers the great output to show the actual state of
hearts.<br>

Now I think we should adress the very state of divide. And in

currently led by 2
Kenyan engineers.
