[governance] FYI: ITU & Putin

[Jean-Louis FULLSACK]

Thanks Wolfgand for this news. 

I specially appreciated this passage :



I'wonder if the "Russian population" wouldn't change its "pole positon" in cellular subscriptions for more civil rights and freedom of expression !
M. Hamadoun Toure has some strange fellows, since he also invited and welcomed officially President Mugabe - this other specialist in Human Rights- to the last World Telecom, a high profile flop for the ITU but with spendid photos in the ITU News magazine ! 

By the way, -and this is importtant for WSIS CS orgs- during the closing ceremony of the recent WSIS Forum in Geneva, the same ITU SG said that the prepcoms were a bad choice for the WSIS : to much speaking and costs ! This may indicate that M. Touré is inclined to something like "high speed governance". Hope CS will react somehow on this opinion.

friendly
