"And of course, the information society’s
very life blood is freedom. It is freedom that
enables citizens everywhere to benefit from
knowledge, journalists to do their essential
work, and citizens to hold government
accountable. Without openness, without the
right to seek, receive and impart information
and ideas through any media and regardless
of frontiers, the information revolution will
stall, and the information society we hope to
build will be stillborn."

Kofi Annan, UN Secretary General
