meeting of high-level experts to identify key trends and to address the new technological
and policy challenges in the digital content delivery environment.
This meeting is being held under the
"Shaping Tomorrow's
Networks Initiative" and in line with the stated objectives of the
WSIS Geneva Declaration of Principles
(Dec 2003), which affirms “…the common desire and commitment to build
a people-centred, inclusive and development-oriented Information
Society, where everyone can create, access, utilize and share
information and knowledge, enabling individuals, communities and peoples
to achieve their full potential in promoting their sustainable
development and improving their quality of life…”. |

Vision and
Objectives |
|
As we move towards a multimedia future, in which voice, video- and data-streams
can be exchanged seamlessly on all-digital networks, competition between delivery platforms
will intensify. This meeting aims to:
-
Identify
key future trends and to address the new technological and policy
challenges in the digital content delivery environment.
-
Provide a
forum for informal debate and the exchange of experiences and visions by all
stakeholders.
-
Help foster
new strategies, which will ultimately support the ITU and EBU in assisting their members to bridge the
digital divide and to build a more inclusive Information Society.
