Sinopsis

With 2.6 billion people completely offline from the Internet as of early 2025, and another 2 billion barely meaningfully connected, more than half of humanity faces the âÇÖConnectivity CrisisâÇÖ.áDrawing from firsthand experience and rigorous analyses, this book explores both being unconnected and meaningful connectivity as a basic human right and offers practical strategy, collaborative, technical, policy, regulatory and leadership recommendations for bridging the global digital divide.áInspired by KetteringâÇÖs 'a problem well stated is half solved', ParetoâÇÖs 80:20 law and real-world digital exclusion realities in developing countries, the book examines how leaders, policy makers, entrepreneurs, multi-lateral development banks and industry stakeholders can collaborate to start addressing this Connectivity Crisis.áThis is both a personal account of a problem affecting billions and a call to action for anyone positioned to make a difference. Whether youâÇÖre a government leader, ICT Minister, development banker, engineer, student, or decision-maker, this book invites you to take bold steps towards universal digital access and help transform billions of lives through meaningful connectivity.
