| 29 | David Best | Only if the purpose of the government is to foster such transparency. e governemnt is neutral in value and like any other technology ICT or otherwise, can be abused as well as used? |
| 32 | Alfonso Reyes | Corruption, specially in "third world countries" has reached unbereable levels. Citizens on these countries are more sensitive to this issue than before to such extend that fighting corruption has become a political aim. Candidates are increasingly using this aim to run their political campaignes and here is where e-government is appearing as a particular ICT that fits this purpose. |
| 39 | Raul Espejo | It can be argued that as ITCs are implemented our forms of interaction will change one way or the other and that these changes are likely to trigger new social properties. Whether these emergent properties will be positive or otherwise is unclear, but we need to learn how to control them socially. |
| 109 | Roger Harnden | Yes, the move to further transparency is undoubted. What is interesting are the moves/strategies from government agencies and corporates to attempt to redress such transparency. However, in historical terms, increased transparency across distinct regions/groups/power blocks is indisputable. |
