Who Owns The Internet

Who Owns the Internet
We started this segment with one of our producers, Bob Carty in an audio attachment he sent to our documentary editor Dick Miller about the situation in Tunisia. Bob's there to cover a major UN conference, the World Summit on the Information Society. But it seems Tunisian authorities are keen to keep some information from getting out. We aired more of what happened to Bob Carty and others covering the conference.
Tomorrow the nations of the world are gathering in that North African country to try to bridge the so-called "digital divide" - the gap between rich and poor countries - in particular, when it comes to information technology. They'll be discussing who really controls the Internet. And---as you just heard---they'll talk about how to ensure a new information society will respect free speech for all.
Bob Carty has been following these issues for several years as a producer for The Current, and also as a director of Canadian Journalists for Free Expression. He was in Tunis this morning.
