The new technological paradigm implies massive capacity for storage, as well as for rapid capture, communication and processing of information. This leads to a profound economic and social reorganization, known under the catch-word of “information society” development. It is a “long wave” of technological change that creates new possibilities for economic and social integration. However, the wide range of opportunities this offers also carries risks, especially for developing countries. In view of this situation, the international community has devoted attention to defining strategies for advancing towards the creation of information societies. The major initiative in this regard was the World Summit on the Information Society, held in Geneva in 2003 and in Tunis in 2005.
