[governance] Egypt and Internet Governance

[Michael Gurstein]

However, the example of Vodafone clearly demonstrates that there is an
urgent need to define 'the rules of engagement' which dominate these
relationships, especially when they are socially counterproductive. But it
is the question of context which seems to have failed Vodafone on this
occasion; its active participation in creating a local context which may
shake the economic stability and investment opportunities in Egypt makes it
a culprit, which rather than reinforce its market position, will shake it
not only at a regional level, but internationally. In this case,
'hyper-connectivity' resulted in a dramatic loss of transparency,
decision-making, and reactions which neglected to monitor and engage in
dialogue with its key stakeholders; the people.
