The ITU mission:
“to enable the growth and sustained development of telecommunications and information networks, and to facilitate universal access so that people everywhere can participate in, and benefit from, the emerging information society and global economy.”
ITU: UN specialized agency for ICT
ITU: 193 Member States working together

75% of these countries have less than 45% pop connected to the internet But 95% of these countries have more than 70 mobile subs per 100 pop
INTRO: Situation of 20 countries in Asia
What do we need to improve connectivity and enable sustainable wireless infrastructure growth?
Do we need to make available more spectrum for mobile broadband? YES
Do we need to make systems and services more affordable? YES
Do we need to ensure efficient use of the spectrum resources? YES
We also need concrete goals
Concrete goals
Connecting the next 1.5 billion: Connect 2020 agenda At PP‐14, Member States committed to achieve key ICT goals by 2020 (Growth,
Inclusiveness, Sustainability, Innovation & Partnership)
Examples of goals directly related to infrastructure:
Enable and foster access to and increased use of telecommunication/ICT
Targets:
1.1: Worldwide, 55% of households should have access to the Internet by 2020
1.2: Worldwide, 60% of individuals should be using the Internet by 2020
1.3: Worldwide, telecommunication/ICT should be 40% more affordable by 2020
Concrete goals
Bridge the digital divide and provide broadband for all. Targets:
2.1.A: Developing world: 50% of households should have access to the Internet by 2020
2.1.B: LDCs: 15% of households should have access to the Internet by 2020
2.2.A: Developing world, 50% of individuals should be using the Internet by 2020
2.2.B: LDCs: 20% of individuals should be using the Internet by 2020
2.3.A: The affordability gap between developed and developing countries should be reduced by 40% by 2020
2.3.B: Broadband services should cost no more than 5% of average monthly income in developing countries by 2020
2.4: Worldwide, 90% of the rural population should be covered by broadband services by 2020
Concrete goals
We have the goals…
What about the means?
More spectrum More efficiency More affordability

WRC‐15 will provide more bandwidth for mobile broadband
Governments worldwide are making available more spectrum – in line with national broadband planning and desired long term investment in ICT.
More countries commit towards the uptake of Digital Dividend band plans and other globally harmonized bands (1800 MHz, 2600 MHz)
More spectrum

Ongoing planning through WRCs(i.e.Digital Dividend)
Spectrumresource planning: nationally optimum
Alleviate BW pressure in high pop areas
Uptake of more spectrum‐efficient systems Emerging alternatives for increased sharing Licensed, shared and license‐exempt all needed Ensure stable markets to encourage investment

Broadband planning
Allocation strategy
Necessary steps for success…
Spectrum harmonization is a necessity (envisaged WRC outcome)
Implement efficient band allocations (i.e. 700 MHz APT)
Adopt scalable and efficient global standards (i.e. IMT/IMT‐A)
Implement suitable licensing mechanisms to attract long term investment
Follow concrete development goals supported by national broadband objectives (i.e. coverage, auction timing, DSO)
