m-Powering Development
‣ Today’s societies need hyperconnectivity. Everyone. Everywhere. Anytime.
‣ Mobile and wireless technologies fueling economic growth and social integration.
‣ Networks are basic infrastructure in all ITU Member States because of their growing impact on the economy, jobs, health, education, banking and other public and private services.
Leveraging Wireless Technologies for Knowledge Societies

The Mobile Landscapem-Powering the world
Now more than 6 billion mobile subscribers
More than 2 billion mobile broadband subscribers by end of 2013
The volume of mobile broadband traffic has been doubling each year, reaching 1,577 Petabytes per month in 2013

7 Steps to m-Powerment
Optimum telecom scare resources such as spectrum
and satellite capacity
Generate incentives to reduce prices of mobile
services
Increase the use of mobile services and applications in
our daily lives, in order to improve economic activity,
particularly in rural areas
Harness mobile networks in health, education,
agriculture, banking, commerce and other fields
that foster development
Promote public-private partnerships for sharing and reducing costs of deploying mobile networks
Build up information highways, where different programs and initiatives can be implemented
Foster mobile services in areas that may not be economically profitable for operators today, but socially beneficial

The Disaster LandscapeThe importance of emergency telecoms
Natural disasters have a massive impact upon economies and loss of life
Meaningful development must take into account disaster risk reduction and management
During disasters, ICTs assist in rapid response and provide important access to relevant best practices
8
5 Steps to Smart Sustainable Development Model (SSDM)
Link rural telecommunications / ICT development to disaster
risk reduction and management initiatives
Ensure deployment of robust communication
networks that function in an emergency
Make optimal use of scare and high cost
resources, taking advantage of unused
capacity already in place
Avoid duplication in efforts and reduce costs of infrastructure investments for ICT’s in rural communities
Create ecosystems where investments made for deploying telecom infrastructures for emergency services have other economical returns
