Incommunicado 05: information technology for everybody else
International Working Conference
Amsterdam, De Balie, June 16-17, 2005

Incommunicado 05 is a two-day working conference working towards a critical
survey of the current state of 'info-development', also known as the catchy
acronym 'ICT4D' (ICT for development). Before the recent =93flattening of
the world=94 (Thomas Friedman, 2005), most computer networks and ICT
expertise were located in the North, and info-development mostly involved
rather technical matters of knowledge and technology transfer from North to
South. While still widely (and even wildly) talked about, the assumption of
a 'digital divide' that follows this familiar geography of development has
turned out to be too simple. Instead, a more complex map of actors,
networked in a global info-politics, is emerging.

The opening debate and the proceedings of the Incommunicado conference in
the Main Hall of the conference venue De Balie in Amsterdam, will be
streamed live as MP3 audio stream and a broadband videostream (Real).

The main parts of the program are:

* Wednesday June 15, 20.00 - 22.30 hrs Central European Time:
