From what I read it said the broadband has become vital for business. Nowhere did I see it was a necessity for the average person (or average poor person as the case may be.)
Look at it from this perspective: If developing countries can't provide the necessary tools for businesses to survive (home-grown or foreign) how will these countries attract the kind of investment that helps to build the infrastructure to allow people to prosper and make poor people considerably less poor. Yes, I understand that without potable water or stable electricity, business cannot thrive and no one will invest. My point is that broadband is almost on par with those services to help build an economy. Broadband (if used properly) can also help expand educational options at a lower cost. Without such educational opportunities, no place can prosper. |
