Workshop on Universal Access and Service (UAS) and Broadband Development.

Presented by the Intelecon Team of Andrew Dymond, Kyle Whiting, and Steve Esselaar at the World Bank, Washington DC on 23 November 2009.

The purpose of the workshop was two-fold: (1) to provide GICT personnel and affiliated groups with a general overview of approaches to UAS, the current status and trends. This includes broadband strategies and the importance of e-applications for development; and (2) to facilitate a discussion with GICT personnel involved or interested in UAS and broadband projects regarding the lessons learned, and a brainstorming on strategy for future Bank operations (in light of the Bank developing a new ICT sector strategy).

The presentation is also available through the World Bank website here.
