Wave of optimism as ITU WSIS meeting on countering spam closes
Priority actions identified to curb spam
Geneva, 9 July 2004 - Participants at the ITU WSIS thematic meeting
on countering spam which concluded its work today agreed on a series
of actions needed to curb spam. The watershed meeting was designed to
launch a global effort that can ultimately lead to the eradication of
spam. Based on a fruitful exchange of views and experiences, the
meeting gave an opportunity to identify where priority action was
needed.
"Spam has grown into a major plague affecting the digital world,"
said Dr Robert Horton, Acting Chair of the Australian Communications
Authority and chairman of the meeting. "We are facing a global
epidemic which can only be combated through a global and concerted
action," he said. "What is at stake is no less than the protection and
preservation of the Internet as we know it. I am convinced that we can
curb spam within the next two years if we act on a number of fronts
simultaneously and make sure that there are no havens for spammers
anywhere in the world", Horton said.
