Contract for the Web

Principle 1

Ensure everyone can connect to the internet

So that anyone, no matter who they are or where they live, can participate actively online

Okay, I agree. Of course, this is for governments, which is composed of people, so it’s good to keep in mind.

But there’s more! They have specific plans!

And they are kinda involved, so I’m gonna spend more time for each one, starting with:

  1. By setting and tracking ambitious policy goals
    • 1GB of mobile data costs no more than 2% of average monthly income by 2025.
    • Access to broadband internet is available for at least 90% of citizens by 2030, and the gap towards that target is halved by 2025.
    • At least 70% of youth over 10 years old and adults have Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills by 2025.

Okay… so many questions! I want to know how “ambitious” these goals are. Gonna try to figure out what the current numbers are…
