Several companies like Ericsson,Nokia,Qualcomm,Samsung and the Social Networking giants, Facebook with popular mobile browser Opera have teamed up to bring the connectivity to 5 billion people. Isn't it amazing for the countries where there has been a connectivity problem with better lack of infrastructure and bandwidth shortage could really have a connectivity that can be affordable and efficient.
The technology is changing and evolving every minute even as we read this blog, but making it affordable is what matters in the present scenario where the market is running slow and people really have to rely on connectivity. Even saving the data usage is important in the field of sharing or accessing the information, methods for using less data include caching and data compression. People could even download stories or photos from nearby friends using technology like WiFi Direct. All of this is done with the aim of reducing the bandwidth needed for basic internet services, thereby making access "affordable and available" to more people.
As seen on the website internet.org "Making the internet available to every person on earth is a goal too large and too important for any one company, group, or government to solve alone. Internet.org’s partners have come together to meet this challenge because they believe in the power of a connected world."
Hope to see success in this great project initiated by major companies and people around the world to make the dream come true of Connectivity as a Human Right.
