6G Summit on Connecting the UnConnected: An Overview of the Possibilities

While few dispute the existence of the digital divide, the true character of the divide is often masked by high-level information and false assumptions about exactly where the digital divide lives and the daily and systemic economic problems it creates. The Marconi Society's September 28 panel offered rich insights into the digital divide itself and some of the potential solutions for bridging it. Here are the top five takeaways:

1. Techno/Economic Solutions to Connect the Next Billion are Driven by Geography and Income
2. There is No One-Size-Fits-All Solution
3. Uncontested and Uncongested Spectrum Drives Innovative Business Models
4. Serving Unconnected Areas Poses New Regulatory Challenges
5. Everyone Can Play
