ones providing education, a voice and opportunity to the worlds impoverished
masses through access to skills and ICT&#8217;s. We are also the providers most
closely linked to communities, business and governments through affiliation,
the services we offer and the very nature of thousands of physical points of
access dispersed throughout the globe. Many of us are funded by government,
industry and community. Our depth and spread far exceeds that of WSIS, our

anonymity of a few physical conference venues by utilizing the Telecentre
movement to actually join the information society? We do not need to present to
WSIS, there is little to be gained&#8230; however WSIS does need us if it ever
