Interview: Dr. Hamadoun Touré, Secretary-General, ITU

In an exclusive Internet Evolution audio interview, the secretary-general of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) , Dr. Hamadoun Touré, weighs in on a variety of issues including:

• Is the U.S. putting enough emphasis on broadband networks in its economic recovery plan?
• What is the ITU doing to help eliminate the digital divide?
• How does he feel about Internet users losing their anonymity and their privacy? And what can the ITU do about it?

And, of course, he gives a bit more color to his earlier defense of the upcoming Telecom World show in Geneva. (See ITU Chief Defends Telecom World Event.)
