Connect-World Global-ICT 2008     Magazine introduction The World Summit on the Information Society, WSIS, established a number of goals for the year 2015. Providing the world’s peoples with access - to connect the world’s people in even the remotest regions, its schools, governments, research centres, libraries, hospitals and health centres, cultural centres, museums, post offices and archives - was the primary goal. One of the most important goals set by the WSIS calls for a world where, “more than half the world's inhabitants have access to ICTs within their reach,” by 2015. The WSIS also called for, “ensuring that all of the world's population have access to television and radio services”. Providing digital access, as a way to achieve sustainable development, to half the world’s population within a decade is a grand ambition. It will take a mighty effort. Governments, international organizations and non-governmental organisations - NGOs, can do part of the job, but far from all of it. Much of this mighty effort will depend upon the world’s business enterprises. To complete this mission, new technologies, new hardware and software, new applications and content, manufacturing genius, financial resources and logistics that only private enterprise can efficiently provide, develop, deploy and manage will be needed. What is corporate responsibility in this context? What can, and should, corporations do, then, to help achieve the ambitious WSIS goals? What are they already doing? How can businesses participate? Why should they participate? What will be the rewards and the costs? Is corporate responsibility - corporate participation in the building of the Information Society - good business? These are the questions Connect-World will ask global leaders.     Theme: The information society 2015 - corporate responsibility and digital access for sustainable development Articles Contributors Feature articles     Article no.: 1 Topic: Connecting for a better world Author: Dr Hamadoun Touré Title: Secretary-General Organisation: International Telecommunication Union PDF size: 172KB   About author: Dr Hamadoun Touré is the Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union, the ITU.

Minister Kyamusoke Bamusulanga Nta-Bote Title: Minister of Postal and Telecommunications Organisation: Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) PDF size: 276KB   About author: H.E Minister Cyprien Kyamusoke Bamusulanga Nta-Bote (MP), is an elected member of parliament for the Shabunda district in the South -Kivu Province of the D.R. Congo. The Minister extensively worked with the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) in his native Congo, Tunisia, and Quebec. He also worked for the World Bank in the Ivory Coast. Mr Cyprien Kyamusoke is a Chartered Certified Project Analyst. H.E Minister Cyprien Kyamusoke Bamusulanga Nta-Bote graduated from the University of Kinshasa (1977) with a Degree in Economics.   Article abstract: ICT does not yet reach much of the Democratic Republic of Congo’s society, the way it works, lives, learns and plays. It wishes to transform itself into a continental telecommunication hub and the private sector has an important role to play in this transformation. Remote populations, and especially women, must be empowered by ICT training. Wireless networks are Congo’s best hope to reach the people and bridge the digital divide. Increased mobile penetration can be a major driver of economic growth.   buy     Article no.: 3 Topic: Connecting Antigua and Barbuda Author: Dr Edmond Mansoor Title: Minister of Information Technology, Broadcasting and Telecommunications Organisation: Antigua and Barbuda PDF size: 200KB   About author: Dr Edmond Mansoor is a Senator and the Minister of State in the Office of the Prime Minister of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda responsible for Information Technology, Broadcasting and Telecommunications.

Dr Mansoor is a first class honours Bachelor of Science graduate of St Mary’s University in Nova Scotia, Canada; he graduated as a medical doctor from the University of the West Indies, Barbados.   Article abstract: Antigua and Barbuda is counting upon ICT to boost its economy, now largely dependant on tourism, and provide needed services to its population. The laws regulating the sector date back to 1954, are limited in scope and are not ‘technology neutral’. A government monopoly controls wire-line communications. Nevertheless, there are three mobile companies, two data companies, one wire-line company and an international telephone company. The government is pursuing an aggressive eight-point Community Technology Programme, to reach out to the country’s youth and disabled.   buy     Article no.: 4 Topic: Policy and the digital divide in Korea Author: Cheong-Moon Cho Title: Director Organisation: Division of International Cooperation and Planning, Korean Agency for Digital Opportunity and Promotion PDF size: 216KB   About author: Dr Cheong-Moon Cho is the Director of the Division of International Cooperation & Planning of Korean Agency for Digital Opportunity and Promotion (KADO) responsible for their international programmes to informatise developing nations.

Dr Cheong-Moon Cho earned his PhD in Sociology from the University of Maryland.   Article abstract: Korea has one of the world’s highest penetration rates for the use of information and communications technologies (ICT) and ranks first on the ITU’s 2007 Digital Opportunity Index. The Korean government’s policy to actively promote the dissemination of ICT is largely responsible for Korea’s success. Korea’s concern extends to every niche of society. Government programmes target groups often marginalised in other societies, such as women, the disabled, low-income groups, illiterates, and senior citizens among others, providing training, computers and special content.   buy     Article no.: 5 Topic: Telecommunications - Europe’s regulatory challenge Author: Dániel Pataki Title: President Organisation: National Communications Authority, Hungary, NCAH PDF size: 192KB   About author: Dániel Pataki is the President of Hungary’s National Communications Authority (NCAH).

TIME, the fusion of telecommunications, information, media and entertainment, is now a key economic sector in Europe and serves to foster education, healthcare and the maturity of Europe’s digital society in general. The growth of the sector, indeed Europe’s economic growth, will depend upon the coordination between the national regulatory authorities in the EU and the TIME sector.   buy     Article no.: 6 Topic: Information and communications sector development in Mongolia Author: Ayush Munkhbat Title: General Director Organisation: Policy Implementation, Information and Communications Technology Authority (ICTA) Regulatory Department, Government of Mongolia PDF size: 216KB   About author: Mr Ayush Munkhbat is currently the General Director of Policy Implementation of the Regulatory Department at Mongolia’s Information and Communications Technology Authority (ICTA) and a member of the MonCERT Board of Directors.

Commissioner Tate received a BA from the University of Tennessee, and a JD from the University of Tennessee College of Law.   Article abstract: Today’s new technologies are often disruptive in that they challenge existing technologies and business models, as well as regulators and policy-makers. They also provide opportunities to connect our citizens to services, social supports and ‘virtual’ jobs that were not possible just a decade ago. ICT addresses many of the challenges facing families and provides improved educational opportunities. Nevertheless, we must be vigilant in protecting our children as they go online to learn, socialise and explore in this connected world.   buy     Article no.: 8 Topic: Mobilised ICT - the foundation for one world Author: Sanjiv Ahuja Title: Chairman Organisation: Orange UK PDF size: 264KB   About author: Sanjiv Ahuja has been the Chairman of Orange UK since stepping down as CEO of Orange SA, having previously been the company’s Chief Operating Officer.

Mr Ahuja has a degree in electrical engineering from Delhi University, India, and a Master’s degree in computer science from Columbia University in New York.   Article abstract: Isolation means poverty. One of the main reasons countries become and stay poor is remoteness from important markets. The world’s richest nations grew up around seas and rivers: natural channels for trade. Today, the Internet is the trade route of choice, indeed, necessity. Extending access to the world’s isolated masses and driving economic growth is a key United Nation’s goal. Mobile phones, already possessed by 3.35 billion people - half the world’s population - can provide this access and empower the remaining half.   buy     Article no.: 9 Topic: Let’s change this Author: Jonathan Schwartz Title: President & CEO Organisation: Sun Microsystems, Inc PDF size: 260KB   About author: Jonathan Schwartz is the CEO and President of Sun Microsystems, and a member of Sun’s Board of Directors.

Mr Schwartz received degrees in economics and mathematics from Wesleyan University.   Article abstract: ICT is world-changing technology, but generating the energy to power computers causes major economic and ecological problems. Twelve million people join the Internet each week. If each gets a PC, consuming 200 watts, that’s ten-20 gigawatts of new power draw and a massive impact on the planet. Something has to change. ‘Eco’ is as much about economics as the environment. For companies, there is a commercial opportunity in eliminating this inefficiency; it is important for society that they do so.   buy     Article no.: 10 Topic: Network-based solutions ignite global innovation Author: John F.

They also transform the way business is done; indeed, new businesses are constantly arising that cannot exist without the Internet. ‘Collaboration’ applications provide more than conferencing, messaging and access for remote and travelling employees; collaboration also reduces carbon emissions by eliminating unnecessary travel. ‘Collaboration’ helps enhance distance-learning opportunities, and the Web is a rich source of educational material for students and teachers alike.   buy     Article no.: 11 Topic: Welcome to anywhere Author: Emily Nagle Green Title: President & CEO Organisation: Yankee Group Research, Inc PDF size: 260KB   About author: Emily Nagle Green is the President and CEO of Yankee Group Research, Inc.

IP networks will soon be everywhere and this will change scale and nature of connectivity itself, its economics and even social structures. The merging of media and the ability to individually target consumers will provide the basis for a shift to an advertising supported environment. Ubiquitous networks will play an increasing role in businesses which, in turn, will adapt to new communications-based work styles and systems.   buy     Article no.: 12 Topic: Globally connected yet locally isolated Author: William T Hayes Title: President Organisation: IEEE Broadcast Technology Society PDF size: 192KB   About author: William T Hayes is the President of the IEEE Broadcast Technology Society.

Mr Hayes is an author for TV Technology, a leading technical magazine. William T Hayes holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications.   Article abstract: We live increasingly in a virtual technology-mediated world where we are globally connected but locally isolated. People walk and talk with mobile devices oblivious to their surroundings and the handset’s screen becomes their view of the world. Many use technology as a buffer to avoid personal interaction and the consequences. On a larger scale though, technology gives everyone, everywhere, access to knowledge, a chance to study and understand their neighbours throughout the world and our social networking has become global.   buy     Article no.: 13 Topic: Millennium Development Goals and the global community Author: John McAdam Title: President and CEO Organisation: F5 Networks PDF size: 204KB   About author: John McAdam is the President and CEO of F5 Networks and is, as well, a member of its board of directors.

ICTs already play a vital role in meeting such United Nations Millennium Development Goals as: the eradication of extreme poverty and hunger; ensuring environmental sustainability; achieving universal primary education; reducing child mortality; improving maternal health; and, combating HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. Unfortunately, only 20 per cent of the world’s population has access to the Internet. International cooperation can make access a universal right.   buy     Article no.: 14 Topic: Influence of ICT on national and global development Author: Rudolf Fischer Title: CEO, Telekom Austria, and Vice Chairman, Telekom Austria Group Organisation: Telekom Austria, Telekom Austria Group PDF size: 216KB   About author: Rudolf Fischer is the CEO of Telekom Austria.

Rudolf Fischer is a graduate of the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration.   Article abstract: The Internet drives the economy and the economy demands rapidly increasing amounts of bandwidth to fuel Internet growth. New uses of the Web, such as YouTube, digital cameras and amateur content, create enormous quantities of data. Radio, cable and other TV transmissions produce a total of 75 petabytes (75 x 1015) of data a year; YouTube, alone, streamed the same data volume in three months. There is an urgent need for investment to build the infrastructure with the needed capacity.   buy     Article no.: 15 Topic: Global VoIP - evolution or revolution?

What started as a way to inexpensively interconnect major international carriers has spread even to residential calling. Traditional providers throughout the world are rolling out IP networks and VoIP is rapidly becoming a low-cost, or even free, commodity. In Japan, the government has mandated the changeover. This is dramatically changing the planning and business models of all carriers and attracting traditional brand names from other sectors to the market.   buy     Article no.: 16 Topic: The rise and impact of Carrier Ethernet Author: Jeff Reedy Title: President and CEO Organisation: Overture Networks PDF size: 232KB   About author: Jeff Reedy is the President and CEO of Overture Networks.

Today, Ethernet is more than a local area network (LAN) technology. Telecom service providers and equipment vendors have adapted Ethernet technology for metropolitan and wide area networks to offer business customers data, voice and video services. Carrier Ethernet offers the reliability, manageability, flexibility and high speed needed not only for business but for medical, distance learning and other applications that bring vital services to people throughout the world.   buy     Article no.: 17 Topic: Global multimedia communication Author: Dr Roar Hagen & Dr Jan Linden Title: Dr Roar Hagen, CTO and Co-Founder, and Dr Jan Linden, Vice President Engineering Organisation: Global IP Solutions PDF size: 188KB   About author: Dr Roar Hagen is the CTO and a Co-Founder of Global IP Solutions.

Dr Linden holds a PhD and a MSc in Electrical Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology.   Article abstract: For many decades there were few true innovations in the telecommunications industry, but the arrival of Internet-based (IP) communications changed the sector dramatically. IP has made inexpensive, when not free, voice, data and video a common service throughout the world. Wireless, both fixed and mobile, and the quick and inexpensive rollout it makes possible, is bringing IP-based, multimedia communications to the remotest regions of the world and making available life-changing, life-saving applications such as medicine at a distance and distance learning.   buy Confirmed authors (Order by article no.)   Dr Hamadoun Touré Secretary-General, International Telecommunication Union   S.E.
