<p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: trebuchet ms,geneva;
FONT-SIZE: 10pt">More than 2 billion people are now
connected to the Internet, and the progression of
mobile connections should accelerate the trend. Yet,
there are questions. Investment in ‘next generation’
Internet access infrastructure is not guaranteed,
either in advanced or in developing economies.
Convergence between the telecom, IT and media worlds
is in full flow and it is difficult to predict what
these sectors will look like in a few years. The
Internet’s major positive impact on economies and
societies continues to be seen, with steady increases
in ‘net-enabled’ productivity, job creation, and ‘new
sector creation’, plus myriad social changes,
particularly the vastly enhanced ability to
communicate, in many different ways, with pretty much
anyone, anywhere in the world. But these rapid
evolutions entail questions and risks as much as
hopes.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: trebuchet ms,geneva;
FONT-SIZE: 10pt">In parallel, the debate around the
Internet’s governance continues. The ‘World Conference
on International Telecommunications’ (WCIT), a
treaty-making negotiation to review the 1988
International Telecommunications Union’s (ITU)
International Telecom Regulations (ITRs) will take
place in Dubai in December, with a number of
governments raising crucial questions about economic,
financial, policy and governance directions for the
Internet. The preparatory negotiations have seen a
flurry of activities, with proposals to include treaty
rules about topics ranging from the architecture and
‘domain name’ system of the Internet, to online
content regulation, human rights, mobile roaming, or
governments setting telecom prices. Some of the
proposals have been described in the media as opposing
developed and developing economies, others contrasting
repressive vs. more open governments. Adding to the
debate, ETNO the European telecommunications
incumbents’ association came out with its own
suggestions, proposing a radical overhaul of the WCIT
treaty to create a ‘new Internet ecosystem’ based
around new Internet interconnection rules and charging
mechanisms, and ‘levelling the playing field’ between
telecom operators and those they refer to as ‘over the
top’ players (OTT).</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-FAMILY: trebuchet ms,geneva;
FONT-SIZE: 10pt">A holistic, open-minded discussion
around the future of the “global public Internet” and
the key economic, social, and political questions it
raises is clearly much needed. Following a lively
discussion at the IIC UK Chapter event on WCIT held on
July 11th, IIC and ISOC England are teaming up to
start this future-looking debate. It will take place
less than a month after the ‘Budapest Conference on
Cyberspace norms’, one week before the annual Internet
Governance Forum (IGF) and the WCIT just one month
away. The event will be an opportunity to ask
ourselves what is the reality of Internet access
around the world today; how best and how quickly we
can bring the benefits of the Internet to all 7
billion humans, looking both at the technologies and
the investment, through some of the exciting examples
of rapid developments which can be seen today in
places like Kenya or South Africa; how advanced and
developing economies can harness Internet access for
wider economic and social benefits; whether there is
actually something wrong with Internet Governance as
it is today, that would require a major
intergovernmental enterprise; why multi-lateralism
versus multi-stakeholderism; how can the views and
needs of developing countries regarding the Internet
and its governance best be addressed? And what will
future international negotiations seek or be able to
address, such as the ITU’s 2013 World Telecom Policy
Forum (WTPF) and the 2014-2015 Review of the World
Summit on the Information Society (WSIS Review), all
of which are due to see the same topics debated.</span></p>
