Murdoch speech interrupted in Abu Dhabi

Possibly not the opening that was planned for the first Abu Dhabi Media Summit, promoting the technologically savvy Gulf state: Rupert Murdoch's teleprompter broke during his keynote speech. Cue 30 seconds of fumbling before a paper copy could be found. The message that Murdoch was trying to deliver was that the Middle East should open up to western media competition by cutting regulation and ending censorship . A heartfelt plea indeed, given that the-sun.co.uk is blocked in Abu Dhabi.
