 Today, on average, over 75,000 gigabytes of data are sent every single second. 50% of the world's population is expected to be connected to the Internet by the end of 2019. But we still need to connect the other half. This is our important task to work in the mostly stakeholder environment and focus on digital inclusion to make the most of digital economy opportunities. This is why the UN Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development has set targets in support of connecting the other half of the world's population. The State of Broadband's report reflects on the policies and recommendations that have made an impact on reaching sustainable development goals.
