What does it mean "development"?
Development means different things to different people
At its core, it involves concepts of "progress" and "growth"
Development is a multi-dimensional entity, involving empowerment, participation, ….
It cannot be simply equated to the growth of GNP or personal purchasing power…

However you measure it…
A world of differences

What a decade!
The first decade of the new millennium saw extraordinary progress in ICT – globally: Global mobile cellular penetration Global internet penetration Enormous technological improvements in ICT The Internet as a pervasive resource
The lag between developed and developing world can be considered to be less that 10 years – on average

The global picture
Mobile With 5.9 billion mobile-cellular subscriptions, global
penetration reaches 87%, and 79% in the developing world In LDCs two thirds of people have cellular coverage and
mobile cellular penetration has reached 34% - up from 5% five years earlier
Internet One third of the world population is online 45% of Internet users are below the age of 25 25% of internet users are in China

Broadband: what is it?
"Broadband" is a technology neutral term, often used as a marketing buzzword, with different meanings
ITU defines broadband internet access as a [fixed or wireless] public access to the internet at a downstream speed equal or greater than 256 Kbps (March 2010)
Broadband is supported by different technologies with different speed

Broadband requirements: examples
YouTube: min 500 Kbps; optimal: 1 Mbps or higher
Skype: voice call: 100 Kbps recommended video call: 128-500 Kbps group video call (3 people): 512 Kbps – 2 Mbps download
Streaming movies: 2,5 Mbps suggested 10 Mbps suggested for HD

Broadband on Europe Digital Agenda
By 2013: bring basic broadband to all Europeans
By 2020: ensure that all Europeans have access to internet speed of
above 30 Mbps and 50% or more European households subscribe to Internet
connections above 100 Mbps

Cost: IPB (ICT Price Basket)
Developed by ITU to compare the price of TLC in different countries
Based on a mix of use using fixed telephone, mobile cellulare and fixed broadband
Measured in % to the average monthly income 2010:
Ranges from 0,2% (Monaco) to 71,6% (Niger)Italy: 0,9% (28th); USA: 0,6% (12th)

Broadband as an enabler
Telehealth & telemedicine: broadband can facilitate provision of medical care to unserved and underserved population through remote diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and consultation with specialists (telehealth & telemedicine)
Education, culture & entertainment: broadband can overcome geographical and financial barriers to provide access to a wide range of educational, cultural and recreational opportunities and resources
Economic development / E-commerce: broadband can promote economic development and revitalization through electronic commerce by creating new jobs and attracting new industries; providing access to regional, national, and worldwide markets
E-government: e-government can help streamline people's interaction with government agencies, and provide information about government policies, procedures, benefits and programs
Public safety and homeland security: broadband can help protect the public by facilitating and promoting public safety information and procedures

Consumer health information: use of online resources on medical topics by healthy individuals or patients
Health knowledge management: best practice guidelines, online resources for the healthcare professionals, epidemiological tracking
Virtual healthcare teams: healthcare professionals collaborating and sharing information on patients through online communication tools
M-health: using mobile devices in collecting patient health data, providing healthcare information, real-time monitoring of patient vitals, and direct provision of care
Healthcare online information systems: for hospital and healthcare professionals: appointment scheduling, patient data management, work schedule management and other administrative tasks surrounding health

ICT4D: two basic approaches
"TOP DOWN"
"BOTTOM UP"
- ICT for productivity- From the experience and models of developed countries - Emphasis on [large] organizations
- ICT for human development- From the needs of local communities and individuals- New models of services, collaboration and interaction based on local needs and experiences

These tools can change completely the approach of ICT4D, and its results…
Three big revolutions…
Never, in the story of technology, we had at our disposal a set of powerful tools like those resulting from the evolution of the internet in the last few years…

The pace of change
People is changing slowly… …but the world is getting younger and younger …and the new generations have grown (and will
grow) with technology
We must target the new generations as the driving force for change

Internet is a lot more…
The “new” ICT (Internet) is different, and can give a lot of value…
…for a low cost The main enabler will be broadband [mobile]
access to the Internet … because it gives access to lots of things
(definitely, not only information!)

An agenda for change
Invest in broadband [mobile] access The software is there, and is (almost) free Develop skills to identify, mix and integrate existing
software and services Take advantage of utility computing to avoid building
local infrastructures Concentrate on applications requirements,
prototyping and experimentation Share results over the net

In three words…
1. Connect, connect, connect
2. Learn and experience the new paradigms
3. Understand local needs
