Contribution : ​​​​​​The internet is a critical enabler of economic and social development. However, in order to expand connectivity to all citizens, there are significant challenges that must be overcome. We need to 1) build an open, competitive market environment for broadband providers 2) develop policies to support infrastructure deployment 3) ensure effective spectrum management. The broader environment is also important in terms of skills, local content and languages and the business and legal environment. In addition, harnessing the potential of community networks and introducing measures to support landlocked countries will be key for reaching underserved regions.
