the world summit informed leaders of political, economical and social impacts of the internet, and other communication technologies that could help their countries in being able to see the full potential of the internet, three positive points that came out of this are that, people admitted they could do more to help close the digital divide, it informed people about the impact the internet could have on their countries and to what extent, and also it got alot of people to join up. three negative points are that, some countries did not join up so the divide in them countires will continue to grow, some countries dont want to do anything to help close the divide, there is not full political support for the plan. i think this was successful because it allowed countries to be able to see how much the internet could help them out and also got some pollitical support which will help in the future to reach their goal of getting every country to have osme form of media communication by 2015
