Global Information Society Watch

This project (a joint initiative of the Association for Progressive Communications and the Third World Institute) has published The Global Information Society Watch 2007 report "the first in a series of annual reports" which "looks at state of the field of information and communication technology (ICT) policy at local and global levels and particularly how policy impacts on the lives of people living in developing countries." It includes "Studies of the ICT policy situation in twenty-two countries from four regions are featured" and the focus is around the World Summit on the Information Society, with a critique of what happened at/between the WSIS meetings and what is happening (or not happening) subsequently. http://www.globaliswatch.org/
