It's about 'transparency' and how people make use of
telecommunication systems. (as I've been saying why not
put webcams and microphone to all politicians and bureaucrats
- and business leaders - :and may be to academics
and all those humanitarian activists -
these occupation make living out of serving public cause
with public finance - )
IHT recently carried one more focused article but I cannot find it
on the web,
basically
#Seoul Mayor Goh Kun stands at the forefront, with his innovative
use of the Internet to open up everything from government bidding to
housing permits, slashing corruption in a country where it has long
been regarded as endemic.
Akio: So you can see who's get permission of new construction
and why someone's bid is rejected. Bureaucrats/officials/
elites and politicians 'need to answer' every single question
posted to the web.
And same system is recommended to be implemented
to many states by Transparency International (One leading NGO
in the field.)
It works or not - I don't know but we will see -

- this article's focus is much wider - focus on whole asian
states.

- From Transparency International,
There should be more talks about this topic on the web
but can't find them at the moment.]
