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.
