Broadband: A Platform for Progress

This report is the second outcome to be issued by the Broadband Commission for Digital Development. It offers examples, evidence, technical choices and strategies for extending broadband networks within the reach of all.

The report is also designed to be the introduction to an evolving collection of resources in the form of an online database to carry forward the work of the Broadband Commission. This repository will carry the outcome reports of the Broadband Commission, as well as numerous research reports, case studies from both developed and developing countries, and other materials to encourage and inform governments and industry — and individual communities themselves — on why broadband is crucially important in today’s world and about ways to get connected.
