What does it mean "development"? Development means different things to
different people At its core, it involves concepts of
"progress" and "growth"
Development is a multi-dimensional entity, involving empowerment, participation, ….
It cannot be simply equated to the growth of GNP or personal purchasing power…

However you measure it…
A world of differences

What a decade!
The first decade of the new millennium saw extraordinary progress in ICT – globally: Global mobile cellular penetration Global internet penetration Enormous technological improvements in ICT The Internet as a pervasive resource
The lag between developed and developing world can be considered to be less that 10 years – on average

The global picture
Mobile With 5.9 billion mobile-cellular subscriptions, global
penetration reaches 87%, and 79% in the developing world In LDCs two thirds of people have cellular coverage and
mobile cellular penetration has reached 34% - up from 5% five years earlier
Internet One third of the world population is online 45% of Internet users are below the age of 25 25% of internet users are in China

Broadband: what is it?
"Broadband" is a technology neutral term, often used as a marketing buzzword, with different meanings
ITU defines broadband internet access as a [fixed or wireless] public access to the internet at a downstream speed equal or greater than 256 Kbps (March 2010)
Broadband is supported by different technologies with different speed

Broadband requirements: examples YouTube:
min 500 Kbps; optimal: 1 Mbps or higher Skype:
voice call: 100 Kbps recommended video call: 128-500 Kbps group video call (3 people): 512 Kbps – 2 Mbps
download Streaming movies:
2,5 Mbps suggested 10 Mbps suggested for HD

Broadband on Europe Digital Agenda By 2013:
bring basic broadband to all Europeans By 2020:
ensure that all Europeans have access to internet speed of above 30 Mbps and
50% or more European households subscribe to Internet connections above 100 Mbps

Cost: IPB (ICT Price Basket) Developed by ITU to compare the price of
TLC in different countries Based on a mix of use using fixed telephone,
mobile cellulare and fixed broadband Measured in % to the average monthly
income 2010:
Ranges from 0,2% (Monaco) to 71,6% (Niger)Italy: 0,9% (28th); USA: 0,6% (12th)

ICT4D: two basic approaches
"TOP DOWN"
"BOTTOM UP"
- ICT for productivity- From the experience and models of developed countries - Emphasis on [large] organizations
- ICT for human development- From the needs of local communities and individuals- New models of services, collaboration and interaction based on local needs and experiences

Three big revolutions… Three big revolutions…
Never, in the story of technology, we had at our disposal a set of powerful tools like those resulting from the evolution of the internet in the last few years…

The pace of change
People is changing slowly… …but the world is getting younger and
younger …and the new generations have grown
(and will grow) with technology
We must target the new generations as the driving force for change

Internet is a lot more…
The “new” ICT (Internet) is different, and can give a lot of value…
…for a low cost The main enabler will be broadband
[mobile] access to the Internet … because it gives access to lots of
things (definitely, not only information!)

An agenda for change
Invest in broadband [mobile] access The software is there, and is (almost) free Develop skills to identify, mix and
integrate existing software and services Take advantage of utility computing to
avoid building local infrastructures Concentrate on applications requirements,
prototyping and experimentation Share results over the net

In three words…
1. Connect, connect, connect
2. Learn and experience the new paradigms
3. Understand local needs
