Broadband’s Impact on Economic Development: The Real Deal

Anna Polomska posted on November 12, 2010 16:40 Article Rating
Every two years, the International Economic Development Council (IEDC) and I team up to survey economic development professionals and others nationwide to learn how broadband is impacting economic development efforts. This year, 301 individuals participated, and their feedback has been particularly revealing.

The 2010 survey is “The Real Deal” as it digs beneath the hype surrounding broadband’s potential to influence local economies, and extracts data from those who deal with these issues daily. We also present for the first time the comments respondents offered to help implement broadband projects that produce economic development results.

Case studies on broadband and MDGs
Anna Polomska last updated on Tuesday, May 15, 2012 5:30 PM
The Broadband Commission for Digital Development, in partnership with ITU- BDT, has developed country case studies taking an in-depth look at the state of broadband development in four emerging economies spanning the Americas, Asia and Europe. A series of case studies are being conducted to underline the importance of broadband and ICTs in achieving the MDGs, and to assist countries in meeting the Broadband Challenge and Targets adopted by the Broadband Commission in October 2011.

The case studies, which cover the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Panama, the Philippines, and Romania, look at the effect of broadband connectivity on economic growth and access to basic services like education and health. They offer regulatory guidance and best practices, showcasing success stories and lessons learned.

The studies were launched during a special side event held at the WSIS Forum 2012.

ITU Broadband reports will focus on topical issues of special interest for developed and developing countries alike. The various reports build on ITU’s recognized expertise in the area augmented by regular feedback from its Membership. Last but not least, this series provides a meaningful contribution to the work of the Broadband Commission for Digital Development.
The findings of the ITU Broadband Reports will trace paths towards the timely achievement of the ambitious but achievable goals set recently by the Commission as well as provide concrete guidelines.

A report from the Broadband Commission Working Group on Climate Change is the result of work conducted by the Working Group on Climate Change, chaired by Mr Hans Vestberg, President and CEO, Ericsson; to be released at the 5th meeting of the Broadband Commission in Ohrid, Macedonia.

The report emphasizes the kind of transformative solutions that are enabled by broadband and provides practical examples of how this technology can contribute to reducing greenhouse gasses (GHGs), mitigating and adapting to the effects of climate change, and promoting resource efficiency. It concludes with 10 recommendations for policy makers and global leaders to hasten and strengthen the ability of ICT and broadband to accelerate global progress towards a low-carbon future.
