WSIS Blogging: Heat, Taxis and Cous-Cous

From Tunis, Kieren McCarthy writes in The Register:

Tunis is relatively mild this time of year for a North African country. Although if you've just come from Britain, the sudden jump of 10-15 degrees wouldn't let you think so.

But heat was very much the order of the day as the Kram conference centre was forced to open its doors early in order to accomodate ongoing discussions (arguments) about internet governance and funding of networks in developing countries.

The hall that will be used for the main summit, starting Wednesday, was still being done up, plus "WSIS TV" was testing its TV cameras, presenters and sound. I know this only because you could watch it all on a widescreen TV in the press room. There was no way you were getting near the actual room itself - unless you were willing to take on six grey-suited security men in a row.
