Government ministers and senior officials representing countries from across the Americas would address the implications of the latest developments in broadband infrastructure, policies and strategies in the Americas.
The Forum would also focus on the agenda for the Connect Americas Summit, which will be held in Panama City from 17th July to 19th July, and which has the objective of mobilizing the human, financial and technical resources required to bridge information and communication technology (ICT) gaps in the region.
ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Toure said, The Americas exemplifies innovation and excellence, and this is what we are here to tap into so that everyone in this vast geographical area can benefit from the potential unleashed by ICTs.
We will examine national and regional policies to facilitate the roll out of broadband in order to connect people everywhere within the region, said Brahima Sanou, Director of ITU's Telecommunication Development Bureau.
