  Growing New Partnerships To Connect The World

  It's been a year since we adopted the Sustainable Development Goals - a new roadmap for international development.  

  It is an exciting time for those of us who focus on bringing Information and Communication Technologies to the world. While Goal 9 calls out the need for Internet access, it is also clear that Internet development is key to accomplish all the SDGs.

  There are many reasons people are not connected to the Internet.  Some  people can not afford the Internet – it is too expensive.  For other people who live in a rural or remote locations, their geography does not allow them easy access.  We want people to be able to access connectivity -- to access the Internet, mobile phones, fibre networks.  Basically, to connect to whatever is most useful to them.This is why connecting the next billion people feels like such an overwhelming task.How are we going to connect people in Canada’s far north, or in the mountains of Nepal...
