Abstract
On the surface the WSIS in Geneva last December was a harmonious success with the world united in commending the merits of the information society. But reaching agreement was not easy and several contentious issues were unresolved and deferred until the final session scheduled for 2005. This article summarises the outcome of the summit and looks at the challenges that still remain.
