News Google: Global leaders met in Geneva for the first UN summit meeting on the Internet. The action plan, unanimously adopted, aims over the next 12 years to: connect the world's villages with different types of technologies and establish community access points; connect universities and schools; scientific and research centers; public libraries, cultural centers, museums and post offices; health centers and hospitals. One of the most contentious issues was where to get the estimated $6.3 billion it will cost to connect everyone in the world to the Internet.
