We at SITE have a large component of international partners , and I think that this venue will be of interest to all. My personal interest come from the initial work at the World Summit. Much has happened since that time. The focus of this work is for developing nations, but there are lessons for all here. If you take a look at the agenda you will see a wide range of technologies now being employed all over the world in a variety of ways
