This book is a sequel to e-Content: Voices from the Ground – Version 1.0. The first version was produced for the United Nations (UN) World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in Geneva, Switzerland in 2003; this update has been produced for the UN WSIS in Tunis 2005. In 2003 the book was produced by the jurors of the World Summit Award (WSA) Grand Jury in Dubai, in 2005 it has been produced by the WSA Grand Jury of Bahrain. In 38 interviews the national WSA experts and Grand Jurors present their view on the electronic (e-) content situation in their country.
With a basic fact file about each country and an explanation of how e-content is understood in that country, Sequel 2.0 gives a good background for comparative analysis of the information and communication technology (ICT) framework across countries.
