Study Notes
###Â Digital Development and Inclusivity
- In 19 least developed countries, the price of 5 GB of fixed broadband is more than 20% of the monthly gross national income per capita.
- Breaking up broadband monopolies in low to middle-income countries can save users as much as $7.33 per GB of mobile data.
- In Myanmar, a competitive mobile market slashed the cost of SIM cards from 150in2013to150 in 2013 to 150in2013to1.50 in 2015.
- The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the importance of connectivity as a critical need.
- Accessibility to the internet is crucial for people to save their lives and livelihoods, and for governments and front-line workers to respond quickly and effectively during times of crisis.
- The United Nations has begun to develop guidance on policies and actions to mitigate digital gaps.
Digital Public Goods
- The internet began as a publicly managed network with an open-source ethos that encouraged collaboration and experimentation.
- The percentage of the internet that is open source and public has significantly decreased.
- The use of big data and artificial intelligence is essential for stakeholders, including the United Nations, to identify new disease outbreaks, counter xenophobia, and measure impacts on vulnerable populations.
- Digital solutions are being used to address the COVID-19 pandemic.
Digital Inclusion and Capacity Building
- There is a need for digital capacity building and effective training, particularly in developing countries.
- Sub-Saharan Africa is estimated to have 230 million "digital jobs" by 2030, which could generate nearly $120 billion in revenue, but this would require 650 million training opportunities.
- Digital capacity building should be tailored to individual and national circumstances.
- Greater coherence and coordination in capacity-building efforts are central, along with scaling up solutions.
Digital Trust and Security
- There is a need for a global commitment on digital trust and security to shape a shared vision, identify attributes of digital stability, and propose priorities for action.
- Many efforts are underway to address the rising threats to the online world, including the Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace, the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise, and the Christchurch Call to Action.
- While these initiatives have helped to bring about progress for multi-stakeholder engagement, they are not yet universal and their reach does not yet cover large swathes of the world.
