Broadcasters feel left out of Net summit (Dec 09 2003 06:58 GMT) - "Seattle Post-Intelligencer" - Broadcasters feel left out of Net summit. GENEVA -- The representatives of 192 nations expected here this week for summit on the Internet's future are neglecting vital issues tied to TV and radio, say international broadcasters who are holding a parallel meeting. Organizers said the four-day media gathering that begins Tuesday is turning out to be essential because their concerns - and those of TV viewers and radio listeners - have been sidelined at the technology-heavy Internet summit. Guillaume Cheneviere, executive director of the media forum and a former head of Switzerland's state-owned TSR TV station, said broadcasters feel the so-called World Summit on the Information Society will be like a "conference on agriculture without farmers." "The summit will focus neither on information nor society, despite its name," added David Lewis, spokesman for the European Broadcasting Union, a co-sponsor of the media meeting. |

Making Of (Dec 09 2003 06:53 GMT) - Como ya me he quedado tranquilo en el post anterior sobre la peli esa que dios confunda, aprovecho que me han regalado unas fotillos del viaje a Italia de la semana pasada (gracias Josemere) que vienen a ser un "making of" de la bitácora del osito. He dudado en ponerlas, pero ese toque de exhibicionismo me ha podido. Y, de paso, me adelanto al oso, que anda ordenando sus fotos del nokia para ver cómo va contando todo a su aire. |
