Great! As someone living in an area with very little Internet
availability, I love to see the issue taken seriously.
One point that's entirely missing from the declaration is the possibility
of contributing back to the information commons from areas without
connectivity. I don't fault the authors, as it seems they were
library-centric and face a different set of problems than Wikimedians, but
we should rise to the challenge, and help craft a bill of rights for
citizens of the world to participate fully, write blogs and wiki articles,
send emails, reply to comment threads, and upload media, all with
intermittent Internet access.
