Réforme des télécommunications: Cas du Cameroun

Le processus de restructuration du secteur des télécommunications au Cameroun a démarré en juin 1995 avec l’admission de ce secteur au programme de privatisation. Il s’est traduit par la mise sur pied d’un cadre juridique et institutionnel permettant d’assurer le désengagement de l’État de certains segments et l’ouverture du secteur à l’initiative privée. Ce qui a permis l’entrée dans le secteur de nombreux opérateurs publics et privés. Par contre certains opérateurs, des prix inabordables ont aussi fait surgir des opérateurs informels.

APC – Nossa avaliação sobre o quarto Fórum de Governança da Internet

Este ano, o quarto Fórum de Governança da Internet transcorreu sem novidades – talvez porque o ano que vem pode ser o seu último – mas ainda vimos progressos reais. A privacidade não está mais em segundo plano para a segurança, os direitos das pessoas online são reconhecidos como centrais por todos os lados. O intercâmbio entre os participantes foi o destaque do evento. Ainda existem muito poucas mulheres e pessoas negras, mas os participantes estão ficando mais jovens, o que é um bom sinal. No próximo ano, a APC espera por um FGI focado no desenvolvimento e nos direitos humanos e voltado para o futuro. Leia a nossa avaliação traduzida para o português graças ao NUPEF no Brasil.
