Title:
"Appropriate ICTs: tools for development in the era of Digital Divide"


Abstract:
In this digital era, Infopoverty discriminates worldwide between modern
haves and have nots, fostering a global widening digital divide. How to  
reduce such a gap, promoting sustainable technologies for development  
and justice? Can a free software approach contrast the increasing power  
of multinational ICT corporations, favouring freedom of expression?
