British Council relaunches the Daily Summit weblog
Earth-Info.Net is very pleased to see that the
British Council-sponsored
Daily Summit weblog (
first launched to cover the
UN's World Summit on Sustainable Development)
has been revived in order to produce
incisive + up-to-date coverage of developments at the
Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (5-8 December) and the
World Summit on the Information Society (10-12 December).
Recent posts on the Daily Summit site include a discussion of how

heavy investment in the internet... which incidentally reaches far fewer people.
Also mentioned are the activities of a gay rights campaigner called
