From a worldwide survey conducted by the BBC shows that 4 out of 5 people interviewed considered that the web is a fundamental right. And Queen Elizabeth.

The survey was conducted by BBC World Service in 26 countries around the world (no Italy) between November 2009 and February 2010. The most important result that comes out is that 4 out of 5 people believes that the web is a fundamental right, a right which today we can not do without. The Turchiai think so, 90%, South Korea, 96% in Chinese , 87%, in which countries such as China, in fact, the website is restricted. Just think about the issue recently Google-China to realize, to quote a recent example.

It 's definitely encouraging, but there is still much to do so. Just think in Cuba, where Yoani Sanchez on his blog recounts the difficulties of everyday Cubans using the web , but especially the fact that in Cuba there is full freedom of expression . Why think about the Web as a means to circulate the liberal ideas is fundamental, underlying everything. Lacking this assumption here is that the oppression of ideas has prevailed. The web is growth and development, also said the Queen Elizabeth in his annual address to the nations of CommonwealthNel his speech, to be held tomorrow, the Queen will say that the scientific and technological progress has improved the quality of life and reduced "time barriers and Geography. "

Internet is playing an important role in the development of these markets but, at present, remains an option too expensive for too many of our citizens of the Commonwealth.

The Queen touches another interesting point, namely that the growth of the web in many countries is limited by access too expensive, and we Italians know something. In our country there are areas north and south, where no ADSL where to access the website you go analog, that once launched the browser you can have breakfast and lunch while page is loading, both Make the idea. And where there is a connection here is fast becoming the rates of blow on the head, the face of tariff liberalization.

Internet free for all, these are the keywords for the coming years.
