World Wide Web Foundation Report:
Advancing Meaningful Connectivity
Towards Active and Participatory Digital Societies |
|
|---|
|
This insightful report from Alliance for Affordable Internet provides a recent update on global internet connectivity, focusing on 9 lower and middle income countries. It introduces the “Meaningful Connectivity framework” as a way to gauge access and then shares quantitative data illustrating gaps in “meaningful connectivity” unearthed by their research. The brief offers a compelling argument for supporting meaningful connectivity as a digital inclusion strategy. |
