Internet and Connectivity
Skip Links
Throughout 2005, a variety of discussions, events, conferences and workshops have taken place around broadband; making way for some critical decisions regarding connecting neighbourhoods or even whole cities.
Internet and connectivity are key enablers of 21st Century Technologies. During the past year, broadband internet connectivity has grown rapidly, while dial-up connections have continued to decline. Wireless broadband has also enjoyed rapid growth as one of the most cost effective ways of delivering broadband to deprived communities and rural areas.
