Studies show broadband drives economic growth• “In low- and middle-income countries, every 10 percentage point increase in
broadband penetration corresponds to an increase in economic growth of 1.38 percentage points – more than in high-income countries and more than for other telecommunications services”. World Bank report. 2010
• “Because broadband networks have the potential to contribute so much to economic development, they should be widely available at affordable prices and should become an integral part of national development strategies”. World Band, 2009.
• “Broadband can help generate jobs, growth, productivity and long-term economic competitiveness.” Dr. Toure, Secretary-General ITU
• “We call for the objective of reaching half of the global population connected to broadband internet by 2015”. Broadband Council declaration endorsed by Secretary-General UNO. NY. Sep 2010
