La acción pública en el desarrollo de Internet (1 hora).(Josep Solé Pareta)
Principales indicadores del mercado relacionado con Internet en España (1 hora). (Josep Solé Pareta)

The subject of this session was something already very familiar for me, as I'm currently studying the same subject in the course Sociedad de Información II by Antonio Alabau. Fortunately this session took a much more general view focusing on the current plans and actions on the different levels of Europe, Spain the autonomical communities and local scale.

The methodology of the session consisted mainly of case examples and some statistics (more so in the part of Josep Pareta). On the time scale we focused mainly on the currently implemented strategies and programmes and their effects.

This was also an important session in the sense that it provided for what should be used as a referencial anchor for our own expocition on the subject of IS strategies in the autonomies of Madrid, Catalonia and Valencia.

The main important strategies are the european union's i2010 strategy and Spains Plan Avanza witch is actually part of a larger consept called ingenio2010. i2010 especially and the spanish plan Avanza in a smaller degree are actually very familiar for me from the above mentioned course in addition to others.

I don't it that important for me to familiarize myself with the smaller-scale local programmes and strategies (for the exception of Valencia), but they offer a good reference for analyzing the Finnish strategy (Finland being by its population roughly the size of Barcelona). The Spanish Plan Avanza on the other hand is of course something on a totally different scale and would in fact consititute roughly to such a project as where the nordic countries would establish a shared higher scale IS strategy.
