Tim Berners-Lee, who invented the internet in 1989, has just announced the creation of a foundation whose purpose is to provide Internet to all countries and ensure the maintenance of the service.
Berners-Lee proposed the "no discrimination in the use of the Internet", ensuring the universality of the Web to get this tool at all.
"You can not, ethically, away from the gaze of those who do not use the Web to nothing or only use it once in a while," says the British physicist. "The website has been designed by the developed world to the developed world." For this reason, the project seeks to increase the presence of the web everywhere with the goal "to be of greater value to all of us," says Berners-Lee.
The mission of the project is moving towards a free and open web, increase its capacity and disseminate the presence of the Internet to all corners of the globe. The Foundation will seek the help of technology professionals, governments and ONG's. For now, and has the support of the Foundation of John S. and James L. Knight, who have donated five million dollars to the cause, some three and half million euros.
