94% of respondents in a global survey said that cyberspace should be a common resource, equally available for all people. As part of the World Summit on the Information Society, ten specific goals were also assessed: 1. Connecting universities, colleges, secondary schools and primary schools with ICTs. 2. Connecting scientific and research centres with ICTs. 3. Ensuring that more than half the world's inhabitants have access to ICTs within their reach. 4. Connecting villages with ICTs and establishing community access points. 5. Connecting all local and central government departments and establish websites and email addresses. 6. Connecting health centres and hospitals with ICTs. 7. Connecting public libraries, cultural centres, museums, post offices and archives with ICTs. 8. Adapting all primary and secondary school curricula to meet the challenges of the Information Society, taking into account national circumstances. 9. Encouraging the development of content and to put in place technical conditions in order to facilitate the presence and use of all world languages on the Internet. 10. Ensuring that all of the world's population have access to television and radio services.
