<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi everyone,<BR>
<BR>
Earlier this morning I sat down with Shahiduddin Akbar of Katalyst to record a three-minute podcast. Shahid is an active member of both the Digital Divide Network and the WSIS Telecentres Caucus. I interviewed him about the digital divide in Bangladesh, the role civil society can play in bridging the divide, and his expectations for the upcoming World Summit on the Information Society. -andy<BR>
