Pursuant to the Tunis Agenda for the
Information Society, ITU is playing a facilitating role for
the implementation of the WSIS Action Line C2: Information
and Communication Infrastructure. The purpose of this
meeting is to discuss the work carried out in the area of
ICT Infrastructure under Action Line C2 and the way
forwards.
It is important to consider if National
ICT Policies and Worldwide Broadband Implementation levels
are aligned with WSIS Connectivity Goals. The questionnaire
feedback that was sent out to Administrations in early 2010
will help to answer these questions, among others concerning
the status of implementation of Action line C2 outcomes.
