The plenary debate will be followed by the first high level
debate entitled “Build on Broadband”. This debate will
examine the importance of broadband networks in facilitating
progress towards achieving the MDGs. High-speed broadband
networks carrying advanced applications can enrich education
and boost basic hygiene and health awareness while
delivering real results in achieving public health goals, a
top priority for many developing countries. It can also
provide new opportunities for economic growth and
international trade and investment. This High-Level Debate

of broadband networks could help achieve the MDGs.
