Broadband Commission
Annual Year in Review
In 2022, the Broadband Commission continued its call to world leaders, heads of industry, and civil society, to put connectivity at the forefront of their efforts to ensure meaningful connectivity that is affordable, accessible, and tailored to the use of diverse global communities.
This year the Commission released consensus-driven publications, along with several inputs to global events and activities, all with actionable recommendations for stakeholders to advance progress on reaching universal connectivity.
The “2022 Year in Review”, highlights of the work of the Broadband Commission this year and gives thanks to its committed members and partners who help make the work of the Commission possible.
