Access to information resources: The developmental context of the space WARC

Heather E. Hudson

Telecommunications Policy, 1985, vol. 9, issue 1, 23-30

Abstract: The first session of the Space WARC to be convened in August 1985 is concerned with 'principles, technical parameters, and criteria for planning'. This article argues that the actual agenda is much greater: it concerns equitable access to the tools of the information revolution. The author proposes an agenda for action including modification of the INTELSAT VI series and measures to ensure access to terrestrial facilities. The author believes that failure to view the Space WARC in a developmental context could result in an impasse at the conference and perpetuation of inequitable access to information resources.
