Caribbean lagging in wireless broadband use — UN report
UNITED NATIONS (CMC) — With nearly two out of every five people in the world expected to be online by the end of the year, more than two-thirds of those living in developing countries, including the Caribbean, will not have access to the Internet, says the United Nations in a global survey of broadband access.
The report, the second produced by the UN Broadband Commission for Digital Development, surveyed broadband access in 160 economies around the world. It reviewed progress on price, household and individual access, government broadband policy and gender, and access to high-speed technology.
"As the world becomes increasingly digital, simple connectivity is no longer enough," said UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in his message for the launch of the report.
