There was an ask ( please see very interesting transcript from precious
email on WSIS 2021 Forum session 3 bridging digital divide) to connect with
whatever available tech with speed rather than wait for the best or newest
solution, for covid 19 has made economies dependent on ICTs.
In the west with land line phones there is 3 way calling ...wonder if there
is technology fix to take this to more callers say 10 callers connecting.
The bandwidth to enable zoom education is not available to all, but land
line phones are more common in rural areas. Also dial up internet is still
an important option and content should be made avaliable for these
technologies. I grew up through dial up and know it can be used effectively
for some purposes ...

Dear DC
A question please. Reflecting on WSIS, ITU deals with connectivity as IGF
does.For the full meaningful citizen access experience, a device is
typically required too. Is there a UN Agency that deals with advocating the
provision of ICT devices, e.g Tablet for All or does that come under IGF
DESA only?
The other thought was, in business right now, lots of discussion of what
the new normal will look like post Covid19 critical pandemic times. Issues
of sustainable connectivity and betterment there-of, as well as now a
dependence on internet to provide e-solutions for ebusiness and egovernment
alike . Temporary measures are now here to stay for all time, as cost
effectiveness or return on investement can be realized. Is this something
that we should discuss please ?
