[Seattle-editorial] FP: WSIS Summit

[Sheri Herndon]

sounds good.  both sites.

perhaps an additional paragraph that just draws attention to the local information liberation issues and/or the good guys - seattle wireless and the battles - cable franchise, with link to either the newswire or to reclaim the media story on the cable franchise.  to tie it to the local issues facing us.

i can't really do this today.  but it could be a short version if someone didn't want to write a longer version.

like --

On the local scene, similar struggles are being waged to protect our information and our access to information.  [link cable franchise, etc.].  Numerous local independent media [link to the page off seattle imc/rtm] exist to counter the corporatization of information and other organizations have established themselves to take current technology and use it in the public interest [link seattle wireless, etc.]

etc.  

can't write it now.....
