[Chapter-delegates] Isoc and French plan for Internet and new media

[Ed Tric]

The french government has announced an impressive plan aiming to restore 
the french leadership in european internet in the coming years.
There are over 100 measures , here are the relevant ones  :
   - broadband acces will be guaranteed by law in all areas , including 
rural ones
   - 3g acces on mobiles will be generalised
   - analogic television will disappear by 2012
   - the internet content will be developped and generalised (video 
games , health , egovernement)
   - the health card (all french citizens have a health smartcard) will 
have electronic signature and encription capabilities
   - the encrypted  medical record will be accesibile on internet
   - the remote work will be encouraged
   - ehealth services are to be developped all over France
   - Ipv6 will be assured and deployed in the coming years
   - Icann has to evolve into a multilateral body


We were the first to critic the Hadopi plan when it happened, but we had 
to admit that if only  half of the announed measures are  implemented , 
it would be in benefit of the french Internet users .
I would like to know if Isoc France was involved in this plan , and how 
we (isoc Ecc ) can react as well when we see something positive for the 
Internet users in Europe.
I see the opportunity here to make some projects related to the 
announced measures.
