Guest Post: NETmundial – an overview

/ By / Innovation, Privacy

Kartik Chawla, who has earlier blogged for us on Network Neutrality and the TN govt’s proposed use of Open Source software, brings us a bit of coverage of the recently concluded NETmundial, the global multistakeholder meeting on the future of internet governance. As he points out in the latter half of the post, the final outcome of the meeting was somewhat of a disappointment, given the initial potential that a participative and deliberative multistakerholder model was expected to have.

IP developments in India have found themselves on a growing stage over the last few years.

Conveniently enough, this gives me a the perfect
