Although the young person has an idea at the head, the difficulty is posed when this last does not answer the necessary criterion!!

Considerable young people is in a difficult phase when, after their finished studies, they have with face to do in the world work. Whereas the labour market becomes increasingly competitive, the requests D? experiments and especially the academic qualifications are very important to be made engage that it is in a private or governmental sector.

I will enumerate two types of problems that personally I find complex for a young person when this last is in search D? an employment. The first, C? is a young person who having finished all his cycles of schooling and having a diploma in hand, finds himself dissatisfied of his monthly wages because its diploma is worth more this qu? it gains. In does a similar case one see this young person leaving his country to see whether L? is grass greener elsewhere and C? is the country which suffers from it.

Ca C? is a first report, the second occurs when this same young person who having a very low academic level wants to try his chance in a job which L? bus D inspires? after its experiments, it feels suited, but unfortunately, without diploma, it is seen refusing the station or then it is taken on a contractual basis time to find a person having the adapted academic qualifications.

In do the two known cases mentioned, we note that the young person in spite of his low or raised academic level, it S? in losing fate. And country also bus D? with dimensions young person will leave the country and of L? other the young person without employment is found to frustrate and vulnerable to the plagues of the company.

I think qu? it should not be judged a young person that by his academic level, I think that L? experiment is more important. One puts the question why adults always learn. I am sour that this young person who has a low rate at the academic level and much better in a trade that that which has the necessary standards. How one says, one learns at any age!!

Jeunesse et Fléaux Sociaux
Related to country: Mauritius

Translations available in: French (original) | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | English | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Social youth and Plagues
Automatically translated into English thanks to WorldLingo
To be young C? is a transition from passage of L? childhood with L? adolescence and of L? adolescence with L? adult. C? where the young person is an important phase must learn with S? to adapt to its environment, to differentiate between the good and the evil, the good and the bad one. It must also face the challenges of the life, L? economic stake and the world of work.

When the young person does not find a certain stability, this last feels to frustrate. Temptation D occurs at this time? an easy life. For S? to affirm, the young fall into this qu? the social plagues are called. It then knows its first cigarette and S? the other key factors such L ensuivrent? does alcholism, the nicotinism, drug, the prostitution and all this contribute largely to degradation in the social life D? a young person.

Moreover doesn't the rate of unemployment parmis the young people cease D? to increase, poverty, violence parmis the young people and especially the sexually transmitted diseases involve the VIH/SIDA.

Fortunately company N? is not insensitive to these plagues and in this direction much of public awareness campaigns are organized that it is by the organizations of youth, nongovernmental or by the Ministry for Health inter alia.

Are dialogues of youth on the International level organized regularly with an aim D? a division D? ideas more widened and of the joint projects for squaring these problems against.

Personally I think that the company contributes and invested largely to fight these plagues in spite of qu? there remains a long way to be traversed. I am myself member D? a nongovernmental organization, which fights against all forms of domestic violence.

We regularly organize talks intended for the students of the primary educations and secondaries. Courses in “Family Life Education” and of “Leadership” for young people coming from the rural areas. Residential workshops to allow the young people of S? to express and to come from L? before with innovating ideas.

In spite of the fact that our company is fragile, together I think that we will succeed in surmounting this way certainly difficult but a promising future.

ACT 2004 - Sixth Annual African Computing & Telecommunications Summit
About this event: Annual African Computing & Telecommunications Summit (ACT 2004)


The Sixth Annual African Computing
& Telecommunications Summit

Mauritius , 7-9 September, 2004

"Building Partnerships to Mainstream Africa's ICT Sector"

AITEC has been invited by the Act ICT Industry Alliance of Mauritius to hold the sixth annual ACT Summit in Mauritius due to the attendance it will attract from ICT professionals and managers from throughout Africa, as well as other international participation, thus promoting the country’s position as a supplier of ICT services and expertise.

The theme of the Summit will be “Developing Partnerships to Mainstream Africa’s ICT Industry.”

Welcoming AITEC’s decision to hold the Summit in Maurtius, Colin Taylor, Chairman of the Act ICT Industry Alliance, called on industry counterparts across Africa to use the Summit as an opportunity to pool knowledge and experience to promote the continent on the international stage. “Although some of us may land up competing for the same outsourcing work, the potential market is huge and expanding. We will all benefit from increased skills levels across the region, as well as improved perceptions of the continent’s ICT capacity. I’m confident that companies attending ACT 2004 will find that co-operation and alliances, rather than competition, will be the order of the day.”

The following will be the key streams within the Summit:

Business Process Outsourcing Forum
The African Open Source Forum, in association with the Free & Open Source Software Foundation for Africa
eGovernment Forum in association with the UN Economic Commission for Africa
Telecommunication Operators Forum in association with the Global VSAT Forum and the UK Government’s CATIA Programme
Mobile Telephony Applications for Development, in association with the Canadian Government’s Connectivity Africa Programme.
The ACT Summit has been held in the UK, South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria in previous years. Over 2,000 African ICT professionals, managers, resellers, innovators and policy-makers have benefited from the Summit’s intensive knowledge-sharing platform.

The ACT Partnering Hub
All delegates will have use of the free service provided by the Partnering Hub to arrange meetings with potential clients, partners and suppliers. All Summit participants will be asked to provide their local mobile numbers for ease of communication and to arrange meetings. The Partnering Hub will act as a vital meeting place where delegates can make maximum use of the networking opportunities provided by ACT.

The ACT Exhibition
The Summit will include a high-quality business-to-business exhibition, enabling local and international ICT manufacturers, suppliers, service providers and operators to promote their products and services to the ACT participants, most of whom are high-volume purchasers. In addition to the exhibition stands, syndicate rooms are available to rent as display, meeting and hospitality areas for the duration of the event. As at all its exhibitions, AITEC will provide free exhibition space for NGOs, non-profit development agencies and other non-profit organizations involved in ICT for development to network and attract partners and supporters.

IDRC FUNDS PROJECT TO TEACH WIRELESS BUILDERS, PROGRAMMERS IN AFRICA

IDRC FUNDS PROJECT TO TEACH WIRELESS BUILDERS, PROGRAMMERS IN AFRICA

Plans To Educate Wi-Fi Implementers Via Organized Workshops, Documentation

Urbana, IL, July 3, 2004 - Following attendance at a European wireless conference, the Champaign-Urbana Community Wireless Network (CUWiN) worked closely with the Association for Progressive Communications, Ecole Supérieure Multinationale des Télécommunications, and wire.less.dk, a Dutch wireless consulting company, to draft a proposal designed to educate wireless implementers in Africa. The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) has funded the proposal for $225,000 US over the period from July 2004 to June 2006.

CUWiN's involvement in this program is key to sharing our cutting edge technology and experience with trainers and technologists in developing African countries. A positive benefit of making this technical information available online to this target audience is that it will then be available to wireless implementers globally.

The program will be used to teach trainers in Africa how to build out wireless infrastructure and programmers adding features to existing software and those creating new software. The diverse population of Africa faces unique hurdles which this program will overcome through a variety of techniques:

-- Training: hands-on workshops in North, South, and West Africa;

-- Materials development: documentation collected and translated to
English, French, and Arabic; and

-- Distributed knowledge base: development and maintenance of the CUWiN
SourceForge development site to collect technical information of
interest to wireless implementers and programmers

Through projects such as this, the groundwork is being laid to establish lasting communities of wireless networking practitioners in Africa -- and across the world -- with a vision of holding future in-depth training sessions in greater numbers once this path-finding and the program itself are concluded.

About CUWiN

The Champaign-Urbana Community Wireless Network (CUWiN) has built a communications network using wireless networking equipment. This is essentially the same "WiFi" equipment used in homes and offices, but CUWiN puts it on rooftops to connect neighbors and form a high-speed community network.

CUWiN's three-part mission is to:

-- connect more people to Internet and broadband services;

-- develop open-source hardware and software for use by wireless
projects world-wide; and

-- build and support community-owned, not-for-profit broadband
networks in cities and towns around the globe.

CUWiN is a program of the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center. OJC Technologies is CUWiN's development home.

WSIS-related thematic meetings on Countering Spam

From 7-9 July, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) hosted a meeting in Geneva, bringing together government policy makers and regulators, representatives of Internet service providers, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) companies, academics, civil society organizations and others, in an effort to counter spam, a "modern day epidemic," and to standardize anti-spam legislation. At present, many countries have no such laws, making it difficult to prosecute spammers.

Robert Horton, head of Australia's Communications Authority, served as the Chairman of the meeting. According to the Chairman's report that emanated from the meeting, "unsolicited commercial communications" or so-called spam has grown into one of the major plagues affecting today's digital world. As much as 80% of all e-mail traffic is spam, compared to 35% a year ago, according to the ITU, with spammers sending hundreds of millions of messages per day. The estimated costs of spam to the global economy are approximately US$25 billion dollars per year. The problem is spreading also to cell phones. In Japan, nine out of ten junk e-mails come in the form of mobile telephone text messages.


Most speakers and participants seemed to agree that there is no "silver bullet," or consensus emerging on the right way forward, as no one solution alone will curb spam. A multi-pronged approach to solving the problem, involving all stakeholders, is clearly necessary. All actors need to engage in a concerted effort, linking the mandates and expertise of various international organizations, as well as the Internet Society, to support and progressively develop an international framework to combat the problem.

The Chairman's report states that spam is a major problem for developed countries, but perhaps is even worse for developing and least developed countries (LDCs), where, because of limited available Internet resources, many users rely on free web-based e-mail services with limits on free storage, which are particularly targeted by spammers. A number of participants highlighted that because of less effective security protection, computers on broadband networks are often compromised in order to hijack then to send spam.

In a session on multilateral and bilateral cooperation, international organizations, regional bodies, and a number of UN Member States presented a review of their initiatives to tackle spam and their views on possible future international cooperation. Acknowledging that the society and culture of each country is different, participants pointed out that it would be very difficult to employ the same anti-spam legislation everywhere. However, information sharing among different national authorities and a cooperative approach to anti-spam law enforcement were seen as fundamental.

Three initiatives were announced during the meeting in Geneva:
1) the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on mutural enforcement on commercial e-mail between enforcement agencies of Australia, the UK and the US, which will include a meeting in London in October 2004;
2) the establishment of an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Task Force on spam, which is likely to hold its first meeting in Busan (South Korea) in early September 2004, in conjunction with ITU Telecom Asia and the OECD's 2nd spam workshop;
3) the holding of a special session on spam at the ITU's Global Symposium for Regulators in December 2004.

Technical service centres in support of education in African schools

An integrated training programme to set up technical service centres in support of education in African schools

Johannesburg, 22 June 2004

Building technical and managerial capacity among a community of African schoolnet practitioners linked to the local establishment of technical service centres as facilities for ICT access, refurbishment, deployment, maintenance and teacher training for their educational use in schools, forms the essence of SchoolNet Africa’s Campaign for One Million PCs for African Schools according to its Executive Director, Ms Shafika Isaacs-Bardien. “Once we have an established management and support system in place at local level, will we be able to process large volumes of computers and related ICTs for use in schools”, she adds.

SchoolNet Africa, http://www.schoolnetafrica.net/, an African-led NGO which promotes learning and teaching through the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in African schools has just concluded the development of its training course entitled Technical Service Centre Manager’s Course in partnership with the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA). This comprehensive course, available in English and soon in French, covers the spectrum of activities from sourcing and procuring PCs ( particularly second-hand PCs), to setting up technical service centres as maintenance and support centres, to the environmentally-responsible disposal of end-of-life PCs, from an African perspective. It contains a wealth of reference materials and case studies on the African experience and integrates issues of gender equality, making it the first of its kind in Africa.

The first 15 of a targeted 200 schoolnet practitioners has commenced their online training on this course on Monday 14 June which will be followed by a hands-on face to face training programme for one week on 12-16 July 2004 in Johannesburg. The training will lay the basis for the set-up of schoolnet-based technical services centres in an estimated 10 African countries, starting with Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. “We will do more than just refurbish PCs. We will offer education solutions to schools, provide maintenance and support, engage in teacher training and educational content development”, says Payton Sondashi from Computers For Zambian Secondary Schools who is one of the programme’s participants.


The course is available at http://www.schoolnetafrica.net/fileadmin/1MillionPCsTraining/Index.htm

ICC statement on the introduction of IPv6

Department of Policy and Business Practices

Commission on E-Business, IT and Telecoms

Task Force on the Internet and IT services


Deploying the next generation Internet:
ICC statement on the introduction of IPv6
http://www.iccwbo.org/home/electronic_commerce/IPv6.asp

Introduction

ICC is uniquely positioned to encourage business and governments around the world to promote the benefits of a smooth transition from IPv4 to IPv6. Representing Internet users and service providers globally, ICC endorses the rogressive introduction by business of IPv6 and advocates for increased awareness among business and governments on the benefits of IPv6.

IPv6 is the acronym for Internet Protocol version 6. IPv6 is the ‘next generation’ Internet Protocol designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (www.ietf.org) to coexist ith and ultimately replace the current version Internet rotocol, IP version 4 (“IPv4”). Internet Protocol (IP) is a set of technical rules governing how information travels around and can be found on the Internet. IP lets different computers communicate with each other over the communications networks that comprise the Internet.


Every network interface on the Internet has a unique IP number. These numbers are called IP addresses and they can be typed directly into a browser or linked to a named web address such as www.yourcompany.com

IPv4

Today, the Internet relies mostly on IPv4, the version of the Internet Protocol that was specified nearly twenty years ago. IPv4 is still robust, but it supports a relatively limited number of IP numbers. Several factors are driving increased demand for IP numbers:

The number of Internet users increases significantly each year, creating more and more demand for IP addresses. While IPv4 allows for four billion computers on
