 Good morning to all. It's a great pleasure for me to welcome you here today in Mexico for this seven meeting of the Broadband Commission for Digital Development. I am very glad that we have here your Excellencies and the industry leaders and many colleagues. And we have the presence of our Minut Secretary of Foreign Affairs. We give also him the welcome to be with us. And we are also waiting the arrival of another officials of the government that are working mainly in this area of technology and telecommunications, broadband, and information and communications technology. We are very happy to honor and host you during this weekend and to co-chair this commission once again with my admirer and very respectful friend, his Excellency President Paul Kagami. Thank you for coming. It's especially welcome because it's his first visit to Mexico. We wait that you come more often to visit us and be with us and chair so many experience and knowledge that you have and how you are moving not only your country, but many paradigms, new paradigms for Africa themselves. Thank you for coming, President. I am also very glad to have by my side the two co-visitors of the commission, Dr. Hamadun Tures, Secretary General of ITU and Irina Vokova, Director General of UNESCO, who have provided us with a great support to increase the effectiveness of our activities. This new meeting is the third anniversary of our commission. We have walked a long way together since 2010 when we were giving this important responsibility of co-chairing the commission together with President Kagami and it has been a great pleasure to perform this task together and to exchange with all of you so many interesting experiences throughout the past six meetings. In these three years, we have made great achievements to put broadband network services and applications high in the global agenda. Our broadband targets have already become a reference to as is the progress that the ICT family is making towards achieving broadband inclusion for all, which is the goal of this group. It is also very important that independent of the current economic context around the world in which the countries and populations that are struggling more are those of the so-called First World. All of these that have a very high income per capita has led the development of the world for so many years, mainly in Europe and including U.S. and Japan with so many years with this situation. And it doesn't matter that all of this is happening or maybe because it is happening we need to make these new recommendations and produce these new recommendations on how broadband can bring those countries back to the pathway to sustain social and economic development and create new U.S. in particular for young professionals. It's very important that this that is the main and most important tool of this new civilization of technology information, knowledge that change completely the face of the world, be adopted for everyone and that will help to also find all these new activities that will generate the employment that these countries are lacking especially for young people. It's very important that all this area of information technology that is generating a lot of jobs be developed together with the applications and advances and content that they bring that are very important for the development of all the countries. This new society increased the productivity because of the technology and this increasing productivity means that people need to work less because the increase in productivity is so big and it's so fast that it's very important to find the jobs for these people that are displaced for this increase in efficiency and productivity. We see these countries that are not getting down their wealth they are still with very high income per capita. We are talking about countries with 30, 35, 40 thousand dollars per capita that still they don't they are in this level and doesn't matter that they have a big economic crisis the income doesn't fall down still maintains high but they don't induce the changes for make that this increase in wealth and productivity that creates technology will be conduced for creating new jobs for the young people. Here in Mexico we are proposing a solution for working and connect to all that is one of our is our main target and that consists that in these two parts of the technology of the broadband importance in the new society one is the access to all and the other part is the development of contain. Contain and applications to be used in health to be used in education to be used for entertainment but also for business economy and government management. All this content is just beginning and the potential is so big and we need to to push that for our national and regional needs and some of them should be global. By the other side the technology that is in place making every day every time very often available the prices the services and the speed every time the speed is faster the price is lower and that is helping to to look at our target of access to all and with this access to all that we are looking for is very important not only the fixed lines that are decreasing that they are with a low penetration maybe around 30 percent now but what is happening now with the 4G and the smartphones that can give a universal or near universal access for all with these new mobile devices that we were talking yesterday that Huawei is thinking already in $55 for the end of this year and for next year 50 and they are thinking in China to go to 70 percent of penetration in smartphones that is fantastic in the next three years you told me next three years that's fantastic achievement and that's only a way to see how the access universal access will be there but beyond this universal access by direct connection by direct connectivity we are proposing and working for in the last five years to make digital libraries and to give access to everyone in every place every time by these public libraries and the copybook we call it digital copybook the usb to make it accessible you have one maybe in front of you access to to everyone to be connected and the one I think one of the other things that we need to push in our commission beyond the connecting to all connection to all universal service should be work for development of applications for the applications we need mainly for health and education but also for for other commerce is very important and finance is very important obviously the government is very important but in my opinion education and education is very important and develop some applications that also push the creation of new of new jobs well in some way these are the topics that we have been discussing for three years some of them and we are going to discuss today in in this meeting and well I give you again my most warm welcome to all of you to to Mexico thank you very much
