Thnx for the share...I plan to read through over the weekend.<br>
<br>
But just off-the-cuff, it would have been nice to see a high-level objective on Broadband Internet Affordability. Maybe a target that says currently it stands at 49% of Gross National Income (ITU data, 2002) and within 5yrs you bring it down to say 25% of the GNI. Global initiatives are targetting 5% of GNI but that would be too ambitious for us<br>
<br>
Solve the affordability problem and you solve most of the others (internet/broadband penetration, usage, contribution to GDP, etc)<br>
