ITU Technologized: What's Hot? with Chris Reece from Award Solutions

The Connecting Humanity Action Blueprint analyses the gaps behind the digital divide—spanning infrastructure, affordability, skills, and policy—to estimate that achieving universal, meaningful connectivity will require $2.6 to $2.8 trillion in investment, including $1.5 to $1.7 trillion for infrastructure and nearly $1 trillion to improve affordability.
 
In this edition of ITU Technologized, ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin discusses the human side of those numbers and shares how the report can be put into practice in country-level planning to accelerate digital progress for the one-third of humanity currently offline.
