[Seattle-editorial] FP: WSIS Summit

[anarch3m]

If she's monitoring, perhaps Susan L can write a reclaimthemedia cover.  Talk about the COUNTY COUNCIL who was ready to vote last week with no public hearing preliminarily.  Give back the unfunded channels just setting unused, and get chump change!  A million$$ to NOT fund the channels, in other words.

>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.]
