Re: Why Internet Governance Is (or Isn't) Like Climate Change
by vbertola
Susan, try to ask to a Cambodian who can't even get his own script standardized right by Unicode, or to an average African whose Internet access fee per minute is a significant fraction of the average monthly salary because of the global interconnection pricing model, whether there are any problems with the Internet. Your reply about the Internet not being a problem is exactly like the reason that certain developed countries gave to deny that the climate was a problem: "oh, we don't care about global warming - we have air conditioners". Of course those who "were here first" don't have a problem with the status quo, as they are the ones who designed it to fit their needs! But the problem now is how to make "Internet for everyone" something more than a marketing tagline.
