m-Powering Development

‣ Today’s societies need hyperconnectivity. Everyone. Everywhere. Anytime.

‣ Mobile and wireless technologies fueling economic growth and social integration.

‣ Networks are basic infrastructure in all ITU Member States because of their growing impact on the economy, jobs, health, education, banking and other public and private services.

Leveraging Wireless Technologies for Knowledge Societies

The Mobile Landscapem-Powering the world

Now more than 6 billion mobile subscribers

More than 2 billion mobile broadband subscribers by end of 2013

The volume of mobile broadband traffic has been doubling each year, reaching 1,577 Petabytes per month in 2013

7 Steps to m-Powerment

Optimum telecom scare resources such as spectrum

and satellite capacity

Generate incentives to reduce prices of mobile

services

Increase the use of mobile services and applications in

our daily lives, in order to improve economic activity,

particularly in rural areas

Harness mobile networks in health, education,

agriculture, banking, commerce and other fields

that foster development

Promote public-private partnerships for sharing and reducing costs of deploying mobile networks

Build up information highways, where different programs and initiatives can be implemented

Foster mobile services in areas that may not be economically profitable for operators today, but socially beneficial

The Disaster LandscapeThe importance of emergency telecoms

Natural disasters have a massive impact upon economies and loss of life

Meaningful development must take into account disaster risk reduction and management

During disasters, ICTs assist in rapid response and provide important access to relevant best practices

8

5 Steps to Smart Sustainable Development Model (SSDM)

Link rural telecommunications / ICT development to disaster

risk reduction and management initiatives

Ensure deployment of robust communication

networks that function in an emergency

Make optimal use of scare and high cost

resources, taking advantage of unused

capacity already in place

Avoid duplication in efforts and reduce costs of infrastructure investments for ICT’s in rural communities

Create ecosystems where investments made for deploying telecom infrastructures for emergency services have other economical returns
