Points out that the official WSIS final texts do not refer to the already existing inter-national agreements for information and communication, which render most of the WSIS recommendations exercises in futility.  Concludes that unless fundamentally new government institutions are created, all the WSIS visions and proposals are destined to failure.  c9/30/04kJOYD
