Sommet mondial sur la société de l'information
World summit on the information society
Genève 2003 - Tunis 2005

Switzerland emphasizes the fact that all the participants to the WSIS in Geneva share a common project: “bridging the digital divide, strengthening cultural diversity, respecting freedom of expression and freedom of press”. Access to the Internet will have to be financed, specially for the most disadvantaged regions. But to surf on the network, the people have to be able to read. Therefore literacy campaigns must be developed. If we want the full access, it is necessary to ensure that the web is available in every language. It is also important to ensure an independent role to journalists and media.

Switzerland, a country with four official languages and cultural diversity, was able to guarantee equal access to information technologies. For example, in Switzerland each linguistic group has its own public television channels and radio stations. All of this is a based on solidarity and political will.
