Wednesday, 6 October Republic of the Marshall Islands trying to lower down infant mortality rate and we be-lieve that ICT will help in the awareness, as well as HIV / AIDS awareness. Even with the arrival of the subma-rine fiber optic cable last April 2010 that can serve 90 percent of the population who resides in Majuro and Ebeye, broadband applications will indeed be a very high hurdle due to economic constraints. Funding for technology is too scarce. At family level, people would chose to buy food for their daily subsistence instead of pursuing ICT know-how. Even our telecom operator face challenges in connecting 29 atolls. There are over 1,000 inhabited islands scattered in close to 1 million square miles of territorial waters. Sustainability is al-ways a SIDS challenge. The RMI declares our new definitive choice of 1/16 units class of contribution to the Union, henceforth. In this regard, we would like to say Thank you to every Member State for supporting our request, especially to Australia, Mexico, Tunisia, United States of America, Spain, Brazil, Trinidad and Tobago, Senegal, Philippines, Venezuela, Algeria, and Pakistan for verbally conveying their support to the RMI. In closing, I would like to reiterate our appreciation for the support of the Union and its members in assisting the RMI address its challenges, one of which is noted in Document 66e. Muchas Gracias. Thank you very much. Kommol Tata. 139
