 Good morning. I am very pleased to be with you today to share together with the minister of ICT and innovation of the Republic of Rwanda in representation of President Paul Kagami. Welcome. It's a pleasure. I am also very happy to be accompanied by the chair of the commission, Julien Xiaoh and Audrey Asule. Today we have the pleasure of welcoming two new members, Mrs. Henrietta Ford, Executive Director of UNICEF, and Stephen Richard, CEO of Forage and JSEMA Chairman. I also wish to extend a warm welcome to Stella Dabini Abrams, Minister of Communication from South Africa, who joined the commission at this spring meeting. I take this opportunity to reiterate the message that brings us together for more than nine years ago, which is that connecting the world population to the world population with the internet broadband and as soon as possible bring all the population to the digital culture. It is about empowering people who lack basic ICT skills with the means to participate in the digital society. As reflected in our State of Broadband Report 2019, meaningful universal connectivity is not just about infrastructure and supply side initiatives. It is also about a thoughtful approach to demand side issues, meeting the needs and expectations of those who are not yet connected, especially with quality smartphones, while ensuring individuals who are already online continue to see value in continued participation. I believe that our recommendations contained in this 2019 State of Broadband Report will contribute to ensuring a digital world without exclusions. They will make an impact by emphasizing the need to protect children online in national broadband plans, contribute to digital inclusion in the various sectors and improve digital skills. To achieve our goals, we need to redouble our efforts. Very importantly, we need to create an adequate environment for investment in broadband infrastructure, access and use. I am very pleased that our agenda today includes a discussion on financing for sustainability and social good. Connectivity, the other half, will be our biggest challenge. I am looking forward to hearing from the leaders of the working groups in session three later this morning. A total of 26 specialized working groups were created by the Commission's inception. These have made important recommendations in areas as diverse, as critical, as global access to education, bringing the digital gender gap, digital health, or digital entrepreneurship. I look forward to our discussions on where we go from here and to your feedback to ensure we remain effective, impactful and with strong outreach activities. We can remember nine years, a little near ten years ago when we were talking about which is broadband, one mega, three megas. We remember when the cost of 56 kilobytes in dialogue was $19, 56 kilobytes. Now it's 56 megabytes less than $19. That gets down prices more than 1,000 times. That's the difference and how things are going soon and faster. We are now talking about 100 megas, 200 megas. We are now looking also very clear that we have discussions about how to give connectivity to everyone in the world and now how we are moving with 5G, coming for 5G, now we are with 4G, but how we are connecting with the wireless internet worldwide, how the price of the minute we talk about on those times at the beginning of the minute, it was prepared was like 50 cents per minute, now it's unlimited consumption for very low cost, less than one cent by sure. And how data begin to be used, first messages, then they came a blackberry and then we are today talking about growing of the consumption of data with video getting near doubling less than two years, less than every two years. That's completely a different situation and we are just waiting it to come faster and like I was telling before, our big challenge is the connectivity of all the people. But it's not only a problem to build networks. That's the main part of the problem to build networks, but people need also and that's the challenge to buy the handset that they are going down but still is not affordable, but not only the handset but to pay it periodically. So the challenge is not the network, mainly is the possibility for them to have a handset and to have the money to pay periodically the consumption by postpaid or prepaid. Well, and as we move to celebrate our 10th anniversary next year, let us discuss in this meeting our strategy for our work ahead. Thank you very much and thank you for all the work you have done in those these 10 years. Thank you.
