[Grace Githaiga]

Listers

This ITU State of Broadband Report 2017 might be of interest to some
of you.

Broadband technologies are driving substantial transformation in
different sectors and are accelerating achievement of the SDGs. Other
advances in science, technology, and engineering such as big data, the
Internet of Things (IoT), Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS),sensor
networks, automation, computational modelling, machine learning,
Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will also
contribute to economic and social welfare worldwide. These advances
are becoming increasingly common place in the workplace, public spaces
and homes, and of increasing interest to policy-makers. As these
technologies continue to develop, stakeholders from academia,
industry, government and civil society should all contribute to
discussions on their potential policy implications, and encourage
growth through policy environments that support research,competition
and innovation.
