Basic Internet Foundation
- Basic Internet Foundation focuses on non-discriminating access to digital inclusion
- Our current project is based on the National Knowledge Portal http://its-wiki.no/wiki/National_Knowledge_Portal
|ItemText=A National Knowledge Portal combines three aspects (see Figure 1), all being central for the empowerment of societies:
- Knowledge distribution for education, health, governmental information, as well as digital public goods. As an example, the portal may hold courses to acquire digital skills, and handle certificates for the educational sector.
- Data governance and innovation of national data is the core for value creation within the country. “Data is the new oil”, this statement of Telenor’s CEO Sigve Brekke demonstrates the value of data, and the need for building the economy around these national data.
- Inclusive access to the National Knowledge Portal is an easy way ahead for regulations. License conditions for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and Mobile Operators could include the “free access to the National Knowledge Portal” as a prerequisite for a license.
