Heilman is to work together with the new General Secretary Ruprecht Polenz
in leading a commission to work on a German Internet development program.
The intention is to "pool expertise in the country, in the media economy and
in the sciences, and to get international experts involved", it was reported
in Berlin.
The CDU/CSU called upon the German federal government in mid April to
appoint an Internet representative.
Improvement is necessary in the education system, civil service and public
administration, the party said. Start conditions for new businesses must
also be improved. "Germany must find a strategic answer to the challenge of
the Internet. We need to make a big nationwide push for improvement",
commented the Christian Democrats. Conference Speakers and Panelists:: in The New York Times, the Christian Science Monitor, Egypts al-Dostour and of its April 2007 issue on Internet, Media and Censorship, and the Project http://www.naaponline.org/conference07/speakers.cfmHOME |
