summary

Jimmy Wales argues that expanding Internet access — especially in developing countries as global users grow from ~1 billion to potentially double — will democratize markets and information. He points to simple technologies (mailing lists, wikis, blogs) and increased local-language content and international support as concrete means to reduce censorship, media monopolies and stereotypes while giving citizens in developing nations a stronger voice.
