The gap between countries with ready access to information technologies and the internet, and those without, is rapidly becoming the next likely staging ground in a global class war of haves and have-nots. A summit in Geneva is attempting to identify some potential solutions before the problem explodes into an open conflict which could result in the have-not countries setting up their own semi-global networks in an effort to sidestep American ‘net dominance. But the major obstacle to finding an equitable solution appears to be that the countries with all the clout – most notably, the U.S. – have little to no interest in sharing their power.
