excerpt from: ICT for democracy: supporting a global current of change

[...] ICT can help those, wherever they are in the world, who suffer under tyrants, those who struggle for democracy. In North Africa we have seen the beginnings of a turn in the tide. Let's now ride the crest of that global wave of change.

let's not forget all those in rural areas all over Europe who haven't got a voice, because the large telcos forget they exist. Freedom and democracy is important in this new digital age which is leaving so many out of it due to geography and obsolete equipment in telephone networks.
