The STN Programme |
The ITU Strategy and Policy Unit, in collaboration
with the European Broadcasting Union(EBU), Ugo
Bordoni Foundation (FUB), the United Nations
Environmental Programme (UNEP INFO/RAC-MAP) have
formed a multi-stakeholder partnership entitled
"Shaping Tomorrow's Networks (STN)” as one of a
series of follow-up initiatives to the World Summit
on the Information Society (WSIS). The vision of
STN is to act as catalyst to promote the concept of
global connectivity and to facilitate the usage of
ICT, through the universal, ubiquitous, non
discriminatory access to the information, aiming to
encourage the use of information and communication
technologies (ICT) as a way to promote development
and bridge the digital divide.
