There will be plenty to discuss this week in Geneva. Such as recent
proposals in the OECD and EU to tax Internet Commerce, the ongoing campaign
for some kind of 'sender pay' scheme, especially to benefit developing
countries, regulating the sharing economy, data regulation etc etc. Kudos
to the Diplo crew for not only participating, but actively reporting.
