Overview[]
The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) refers to two U.N. summits held in Geneva on December 10-12, 2003 and Tunis on November 16-18, 2005. It was convened in response to rising awareness of the pervasive power of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and growing concerns that developing countries should not be left behind in the new Information Society.
