- The Internet
is physiologically oriented towards a "perfect
market" by definition "the Internet
is for everyone", as stated once and for all by Vint Cerf .
- "For
everyone", "everywhere
in the world".
- This chapter
documents local~global debate regarding the Internet from a geopolitical
point of view.
- "The
Internet is for everyone" implies a general policy commitment which
is everlasting and opposes each and every exclusion, or even limitation,
of the development of the global interconnection of networks.
- Against
each and every "digital divide",
as is popularly coined and originally very much associated with the socioeconomic
development/underdevelopment gap.
- But the
efficacious category is to be extended correctly also to the policies of
technological hibernation in the developed countries, and to a vocation
which has no borders and can be inserted into the system of automatic information
in the form of a distortion of "a delayed political filter ".
- Consequently,
a national contribution to the evolution of the Internet can therefore
be measured on both faces of its indiscriminate integral establishment:
local and global.
- The reader
can therefore not be surprised by the main line of thought of a
long-term "foreign policy" of the Italian Internet:
from the coordinations documented in the preceding chapters between local
and international pioneers in order to ensure a transatlantic bridging
as regards the Internetworking model...
- As far
as distinctions in the transfer of know-how oriented in exemplary fashion
to the TEC, according to an early well-chosen definition of Stefano Trumpy,
later absorbed into international ISOC jargon: the "technologically
emerging countries"
- Africa;
- Latin
America;
- Asia;
- Mediterranean.
