Connectivity 2021
The State of
Broadband 2021
People-Centred Approaches for Universal Broadband Connectivity
Despite progress on
Internet access and adoption, more effort is needed to ensure
success and concrete movement towards the global 2030 targets.
Additional investment and inclusive, open partnerships can
advance progress towards universal broadband – which in turn
will accelerate economic growth, help alleviate poverty, impact
social development, and address climate change. Policy and
regulatory actions will not only encourage and incentivize
greater investment and Internet adoption, but will also address
inequitable access sparked by market failures.
Putting individuals at the centre as we build digital
infrastructure and progress towards the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development requires concerted effort. This will
involve moving beyond mindsets focused on technological fixes,
and focusing on those user issues that limit adoption –
socio-demographics, skills, affordability, relevance, content
and trust. Efforts are required to direct funding to address the
challenges of the unconnected. As new waves of innovation in
digital infrastructure go mainstream concerted efforts must be
made to ensure these developments particularly benefit low- and
middle-income countries as well as developed countries. This
report details the current state of play, lessons learned from
the pandemic, progress on meeting the Broadband Commission’s
2025 targets & the SDGs, and policy recommendations for a
people-centred approach to achieving universal connectivity by
2030.
