The BBC talks of the discord at the WSIS precomp last week in Geneva.

I must admit I, along with a co-conspirator who shall remain nameless, took advantage of the webcast and repurposed it as some sort of a videoconferencing system… Therefore, some of the finer points of the debates were lost to me (well, that might also have been because the webcast channel was the floor channel, without the translations).

Update: reflecting on the same issues, the Monde Diplomatique has an article titled «Les laissés-pour-compte du cyberespace» on the fracture numérique, where they refer twice to the IUT… Not the best article I’ve read from that publication I must say.
