The Marconi Society interviewed BDT Director Doreen Bogdan-Martin about the challenges and opportunities of the next decade of connectivity, ahead of her keynote address at the Marconi Society's upcoming master class and symposium in connecting the next billion, ''The Decade of Digital Inclusion'', on 22 October 2021.Ms Bogdan-Martin said, ''I am convinced that the message about the importance of connectivity has gotten through to many global leaders, and that we will see dramatically accelerating levels of digital access in much of the developing world in the coming five years. That in turn can create a virtuous circle, where the benefits that rapidly accrue to nations that prioritize connectivity encourage neighbouring countries to adopt a similar strategy. If we take this path, a fully connected planet could be just over the horizon.''
