Among the greatest benefits for implementing Internet broadband, we can note the generalization of the information. Elites will share the power of information to citizens. By this way citizens will get multiple choices from couple of media sources. Information can be manipulated by Elites or corporations. In order to tackle the control, charitys organizations and private companies should work hand by hand with the government to create diversity of media sources. I am aware that will not easy to unite positive forces.
Time for paternalistic charity policy is over. Most of charity actions are inefficient because of unilateral way to realise local actions: local citizens were not enough involved in their own local development. Assisantship is always there and that shows a great failure. Charity organizations and business companies should involve and adjust their social actions in massive educational programs directed to IT development as encouraging students to embrace IT studies, encouraging intensive IT courses in high schools and encouraging public policies which stimulate people to use Internet. Local ecommerce market will not be mature without premature apprenticeship. Instead of supplying rice, milk, charity organizations will distribute computer science courses to local charities organizations, citizens and communities. This will help them to be autonomous. They will built their own social programs.
Most of developing countries are deeply affected by world challenges such as climate change, air pollution. The only way to involve and sensibilize them for the global issues is to give them the chance to participate to the world different packages promoted by onusian or philanthropic organizations. Generalizing Internet usage must not restrict to make only business but to promote world conscientious citizenship.
