“…The economic and social case for developing
broadband access is very strong and takes on
added significance for rural and remote
communities, where improved communications
can address a variety of challenges posed by
distance.”
OECD, April 2004.
New fact: the emergence of broadband wireless
as a platform to provide low-cost high-performance
access networks in rural and remote areas.

Broadband global initiative
Plan of Action (Document WSIS-03/GENEVA/DOC/5): C2. Information and
communication infrastructure: an essential foundation for the Information
Society:
d) Develop and strengthen national, regional and international broadband
network infrastructure, including delivery by satellite and other
systems , to help in providing the capacity to match the needs of countries
and their citizens and for the delivery of new ICT-based services. Support
technical, regulatory and operational studies by the ITU and, as appropriate,
other relevant international organizations in order to:
• broaden access to orbital resources, global frequency harmonization and
global systems standardization;
• encourage public/private partnership;
• promote the provision of global high-speed satellite services for
underserved areas such as remote and sparsely populated areas;
• explore other systems that can provide high-speed connectivity.
