Sin embargo, la UIT excluye la participacion de las ONG como representantes de la sociedad civil y admite solo dos categorias de miembros: estados y empresas privadas. Frente a esto, varias ONG, especialmente de comunicacion, estan luchando para democratizar este espacio y oficializar su participacion.

Technology advanced at the pace we grew accustomed to in the 20 century and only five years after Marconi’s historic transatlantic broadcast, radio operators on ships in the Atlantic were surprised to hear a human voice emitting from the Marconi-built equipment instead of the dots and dashes of Morse code. Three years after that, the first regularly broadcasting radio station was transmitting news and recorded music programs every Wednesday night to a handful of pre-Silicon Valley residents of San José, California who had bought radio receivers before there were stations to listen to.

In developing countries, smallholder farms account for 80 percent of all farm holdings and their output feeds billions of people. International research shows that enhancing the efficiency and productivity of family farms is one of the most effective ways to reduce poverty.

From the El Salvador guerrilla-operated Radio Venceremos to the native-owned Wawatay Radio Network in Northern Canada, alternative and community radio stations play an essential role for those at the margins of society – a medium that lets them speak as well as hear.
Among the stories told in the book are: Radio Echo of Moscow and the August 1991 coup d'état; two women's radio projects – in Peru and the Philippines: how indigenous people's radio in Canada and Mexico strengthen their communities: the Marconi Radio Taster's Café that is the doorway to the world of Radio 100, an Amsterdam squatters' station: the positive and negative side of international aid for a Sri Lankan local radio project: the history and prospects for community radio in South Africa: a tiny Black "pirate" station that has challenged the police and the Federal Communications Commission in the USA; the role of the El Salvadoran guerrilla station Radio Venceremos in a major rebel offensive. The electronic edition also includes a new chapter about Radio Chaguarurco, a station serving rural communities in Ecuador.
First published in 1992, this book provides a fascinating glimpse of community radio 10 years ago, and a reminder of how much has changed, and how much has not…
