 We're here at ITU Telecom World 2015 in Budapest, Hungary, and I'm very pleased to be joined by Mr Shola Taylor, who is Secretary-General of the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation. Shola, thank you very much for being with us in the studio today. Thank you so much. It's very nice to see you. Great. Now, I'd like to start talking about the theme of ITU Telecom World 2015 is accelerating digital innovation for socio-economic development. How do you see ICTs impacting everyday lives around the world? First of all, let me congratulate the ITU for these events. I think it's a perfect platform to showcase the impact of ICT in everyday life. One, take the health sector. We've witnessed a lot of positive aspects. If you take Ebola, Ebola in West Africa has been tremendously helped by ICTs. The fact that the countries that were affected use ICT effectively made the disease to actually be eradicated as short as possible. Secondly, if you look at the agricultural sector, in many cases farmers are now getting the cost of the prices of their products in the cities, which they didn't have before. That's making them richer, that's making the price to be more competitive, and they are now valuing more what they produce. If you take the issue of gender, young girls, because of ICTs, that gender gap is now reducing. So it has a lot of impact. Finally, if you take the social media, one interesting thing in Nigeria for example, the last lecture in Nigeria was won and lost through the social media. That's the impact of ICTs. How important do you think the broadband and cyber security are for Commonwealth and beyond? If you take the policy documents of virtually every country in the world, there are two things you will find, broadband and cyber security. Why? Broadband provides the access that every country needs for their citizens, and therefore it's important that they establish policies, strategies that will ensure that citizens can have broadband access. Countries are now competing in terms of targets. If you take China for example, the 100 megabits, that's quite a challenge, and even more than that, in terms of their targets, some countries are looking for less. What is important is that they want broadband access so that their people can benefit from the information overload that they're getting from internet in order to improve their lifestyles. Educational institutions are trying to make sure that they have high-bit access. All the various sectors, whether it's transport, whether it's agriculture, whether it's farming, whatever, ICTs are getting quite relevant in the scheme of things. Cyber security is even more important because these networks that are being built, they need to ensure that they are secured. Now, if you have hackers who are going to the systems to negatively affect, then that's really scary. It's scary for financial institutions, it's scary for the stability of the system, it's scary for you and I because we want to be able to have confidence in these systems. Everyday operators, agencies ask for information. Now, how would this information be used? It's quite important that every country establishes the right cyber security regime to protect their privacy, to protect this information and to ensure that the world lives in good peace. Finally, I'd just like to ask you, I know you're a regular attendee at ITU events. What's the value of attending ITU telecom world for you? Well, for me, I don't even think I just come to the IT platform because, one, the IT telecom provides a wonderful mix of interests. One, you have the various exhibitors who are bringing in new technologies that you can actually see firsthand, that you can begin to see how does this apply in my immediate environment in the countries that I'm interested in. Secondly, it also gives the various speakers the opportunities to share experience and that's really, really interesting, global experience from Asia, from Africa, from America. I think it's a platform that needs to be encouraged. I would like to see more people participate at the IT telecom and I wish ITU well in the future. And we wish you well too. Well, thank you very much and David for being with us in the studio today. Thank you.
