Way ahead
Goal of the meeting was to elaborate on how IEEE Region 8 could support Digital Inclusion through e.g. the free access to information , aka Internet Lite. As IEEE is more on promoting standards, we are looking for standards supporting Internet Lite.
Thus, discussions focussed on
- state of innovation at Telecom operators
- National Wifi as means for digital inclusion
- Policies and regulations for digital inclusion
- Global platform economy and the impact on the national economy, e.g. from 59 million people in ZA only about 5 million people pay tax
- The National Knowledge Portal as contributor to digital inclusion
Topics being discussed
State of innovation at Telecom operators. We had a common opinion, that the current business model of operators does not favour connecting the unconnected, and that we need policies and regulations for digital inclusion. We were more specific about
- Lessons learned from Femto-cells: As long as every operator has it's own femto cells, the business models of micro operators or people providing connectivity will not work. We need regulations, e.g. 20 MHz as a common frequency for all femto/small cells.
