NEW YORK -- To get the economy of a developing country going, its
government must stamp out corruption, ramp up efficiency and use
open-source technology to build a cheap, reliable information
infrastructure, experts at a conference sponsored by the United Nations
told investors and policy-makers this week. 

By sticking with basic, low-cost, open-source technology, developing
countries have a better chance of establishing vibrant economies,
executives at the Net World Order conference said. The event was held at
technology trade show CeBIT in New York City and was sponsored by the
Business Council for the United Nations, a U.N. strategy research
center.
