International Cooperation
 Alcatel actively participated in the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), an ITU (International Telecommunication Union) initiative.
 WSIS, while recommending representation from governments at the highest level also invites participation of all relevant UN bodies and other international organizations, non-governmental organizations, private sector, civil society, and media to establish a truly multi-stakeholder process.
At the first phase in Geneva, December 10 -12, 2003, a “Declaration of Principles” and a “Plan of Action”
to promote the information society were adopted. The second phase in Tunis, November 16-18, 2005, focused on solutions to implement the action plan agreed upon in Geneva and adopted two texts: The “Tunis Commitment”and the “Tunis Agenda for the Information Society”. Alcatel participated as observer in the Summit preparatory meetings and contributed to the discussion along with other representatives of the business sector. The company will continue to work with all stakeholders involved in the process to build innovative projects that will give concrete expression to the commitment expressed by all at the WSIS.
