The relative growth rates of traditional telephony and Internet traffic strongly suggest that the networks will converge during the coming decade, with Internet technology in the core. Before this can happen, high quality voice and video must be demonstrated on the Internet backbone, and appropriate business models to support it must be developed and deployed. |

The society towards we are heading has been called The Knowledge Society or The Information Society, yet we have a lot to learn to cope with the huge masses of information we are receiving every minute and how to transform that in useable knowledge for our company, our family or ourselves. This session explores several aspects of this process, be it in information distribution, collaboration or learning, but always focusing on how information and knowledge are the central key to understand the ongoing process. |

alain.clavet@ocol-clo.gc.ca |
Diverse content on the Internet stimulates a variety of actions on the part of companies, governments, and community organizations. Promoting the use of a non- dominant language may require regulations to control the use of English. Governments concerned with inappropriate content resort to various technological and regulatory solutions, most of which are rejected by activists who support free speech and the free flow of all information. This session examines recent case studies from Sweden, Saudi Arabia, Chile, the U.S., Australia, Canada, and elsewhere. |
