PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED
INTERNET ACCESS
Infrastructure: We work to make sure the
infrastructure in your town, village, or community is in place in order to support the Internet. This means
everything from the way cities are built to making sure there’s proper
equipment like computers, to run the hardware that makes up what we know
as the Internet.
User experience: From a usability perspective, we work to make sure that everyone – regardless of their age, language they speak, or their physical or
mental abilities – can access the applications that run on the
Internet (like the World Wide Web) and have the same experience.
Cost: Being able to access the Internet has an economic
facet, as the cost of infrastructure, equipment,
and services can determine the level of access available
to regions, communities, and individuals.

Children and the Internet
The Internet is an increasing part of today’s culture,
especially for children and youth, for whom schoolwork,
online gaming, and social networking are among the most popular activities.
However, the lack of common agreement about the right approach to educating and
protecting children adds further challenges to a child’s online experience and expression.
Additionally, cultural and geographical differences in legal and social norms reflect
the fact that there is no universally accepted view of what defines a person as a child, or of
what is appropriate for children, making “inappropriate content and behaviour” hard
to define.
