<p>The report reminds us the biased WSIS debates and the dominant neoliberal ideology imposed by the ITU and its allies among which we happened to find UNESCO. We also were and still are told by the WSIS leading UN agencies, ITU at first, that Public-Private Partnerships is the Holy Grail of financing development. And so is Broadband (BB) for development itself ! What's more BB is declared a Basic Human right, as is Water, by the former ITU Chief Hamadoun Toure.</p>
