OneWorld to launch new ICTs portal
OneWorld and the Benton Foundation will launch a Digital Opportunity
Channel focusing on the use of ICTs for global sustainable development.

May launch
The Digital Opportunity Channel will build on Benton Foundation's Digital
Divide Network (DDN) and OneWorld's seven years' experience in ICTs for
development. The site will present content from OneWorld's partnership of
over 1000 NGOs around the world and DDN's network of practitioners and
policymakers.

The Digital Opportunity Channel will be coordinated from India, which has
one of the largest populations of the poorest and marginalized in the world
- and
at the same time shows the biggest potential in ICTs for development. The
portal will also act as an online community and innovation lab for people
working in the field of ICTs for development.

Organisations working on ICTs and digital divide issues are invited to
participate in Digital Opportunity Channel.

The site will be launched publicly the week of 17 May 2002 to coincide
with UN World Telecommunications Day, which this year is celebrated under
the theme, 'ICT for all: empowering people to cross the digital divide'.
