New beginner's handbook aims to get more people involved in ICT policy



"ICT Policy: A Beginner's Handbook" - a new book from APC

South Africa, December 18 2003 -- APC's new book lays out the issues and
dispenses with the jargon to encourage more people to get involved in
ICT policy processes.

This book is for people who feel that ICT policy is important but don't
know much about it, e.g. a government official worried about a gap in
her technical knowledge of how the internet works, a human-rights worker
concerned that his need to send secure email is being challenged by
national government policy, a citizen fed up with paying exorbitant
rates for dial-up internet access and ready to organise…

"The APC handbook is not a map of the ICT policy terrain," says editor
Chris Nicol, "but it *is* a compass."
