Final report of ITU-D Focus Group 7: New Technologies for Rural Applications (2001)
More than 2.5 billion people (over 40% of the planet's population) live
in rural and remote areas of developing countries. Of the small fraction
that has any access to telecommunications, voice telephony has been the
main service provided. But today, interactive multimedia services, such
as e-mail, tele-education and telemedicine, are just as important as
voice connectivity. This report looks at technological developments that
have the potential to support interactive multimedia services in rural
and remote areas.
