Abstract
This document is the third version of an ongoing exercise to benchmark the Plan of Action of the
World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS). The first version was delivered to the
delegates of PrepCom I of WSIS in Hammamet, Tunisia, June 2004. A second version to the
delegates of the Latin American and Caribbean – European Union Forum on the Information
Society, in Rio de Janeiro, November 2004. Graphs and tables are indicative and aim at
demonstrating the current situation of Latin America and the Caribbean countries in relation to
achieving the actions proposed during the 2003 Geneva phase of WSIS. Conslusions are drawn
from the presented evidence in every field, which results in the particular challenges the region
faces in the transition toward a Latin American and Caribbean Information Society.
