[governance] WSIS+10 My Address on Behalf of Civil Society

[Jean-Louis FULLSACK]

 Dear Michael I can't but congratulate you warmly for your address to the WSIS + 10 Review meeting in Paris. For me it's a miliestone in CS expression in the WSIS Process and for that I thank you personnally. Adding comments to such a document is rather delicate. Therefore I'd ask you for some comprehension for the following two complementary remarks 1 - You wrote :  We should also have in mind that for poor people to be mobile users is detrimental to their vital needs (living costs) and these people represent a significant share among the 350 or so mobile users in subsaharan Africa. 2 - The market and competition driven investments in so-called Broadband Internet infrastructure deployement, leads to duplication and even multiplication of these infrastructures especially in DCs. A best illustrating example are the seven submarine cables along the African West coast ! Since the average cost of such a cable is over 600 M$ you can calculate the amount of useless investment ! For the sake of "Broadband for All" ! Anyway, your document is perfect and, once again, thanks for it and "bonne chance" to you ! I'm looking forward to meeting you during the WSIS Forum in Geneva if you are there, for continuing the debate Best regards Jean-Louis Fullsack
