PAN Localization Project's Representation in 2nd i4d Seminar The 2nd i4d Seminar was held at International Convention Centre Beijing, China on 27 – 28 August 2004.The focus of the conference was on expanding the digital opportunities in the developing countries to bridge the digital divide. PAN Localization Project was represented by Miss Sana Gul, the Regional Research Officer for the project. There are several initiatives at the global, regional, national and the local levels all across the globe. But these efforts are proving to be much less than what is required to reach to downtrodden and the underserved people in the society. The requirements, such as for the basic ICT infrastructure alone, are enormous. The necessary resources will not flow automatically from the technology-rich countries to the technology-poor countries. Unless the global community responds to the challenge of the digital divide in a coordinated and determined manner, the developing world will wake up to the horrible reality of being left behind once again.
