Our Focus : Access and Trust Global Internet ReportThe project launched in 2016 to identify the uncertainties and factors that
will shape the future of the Internet.
Guided by the overarching question “How do we ensure the continued
development of an Internet at the service of all people?” we did:
• More than 130 in-depth interviews with Internet experts and users
• Two global surveys and two regional surveys
• More than 3000 responses received
• Ten Internet Society community roundtables
• A survey soliciting suggestions for recommendations as to future actions.
