This Thursday at Change we will be hosting a talk by Professor Craig Warren Smith, Chairman of the Digital Divide Institute, Chulalongkorn University, Thailand. Now that cell phones have reached even remote villages in Asian emerging markets, Asia's commercial supply chains and governments are now intent on achieving "broadband for all." Can this "Second Wireless Revolution" be achieved? If so, will it be beneficial or harmful to individuals, to their communities and the environment? In this talk, Craig will present a model called "meaningful broadband" which combines innovations in technology-design, public policy, finance, and ethics. Embraced by governments and ICT stakeholders in Indonesia and Thailand, this model is the basis of new public private partnerships and strategic alliances that aim to help bring balance and sustainability to the global economy. Prof Smith will focus in particular on Indonesia, which is preparing to deploy a $9.4 billion public private partnership plan, overseen by President SBY, to bring broadband meaningfully to 65 million low income Indonesians by 2014.
