Curated BoardFew signs of leapfrogging: penetration tracks income

Connectivity trends track economic development. While this is unsurprising, it suggests that we haven’t found effective ways to leapfrog yet.

Curated BoardKeys to success are hard to pinpoint: progress comes as a package

Internet adoption, price, and speed move together in a consistent pattern: countries that do well in one area tend to do well in the others, making causal factors difficult to identify.

Curated BoardIntriguing outliers: literacy and Internet penetration

Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Nigeria, and Kenya all have penetration rates that exceed their ‘expected’ rate when looking at literacy rates. Each of these countries has a vibrant online sphere with a core of active intellectual elites.

Curated BoardCountries to study and emulate: affordability is critical

Countries with more affordable broadband tend to have higher Internet adoption. A few countries, including Paraguay and Azerbaijan, have higher levels of adoption than expected given current costs.

Curated BoardMobile-dominant vs. convergence: alternative trajectories

High-performing countries do well on both wireline and mobile broadband adoption. Others are on a different, mobile-led trajectory; studying these cases will help us understand the benefits and limitations of this alternative path.

Curated BoardEarly-stage connectivity + large-scale social and political change

The revolutions in Bahrain, Egypt, Syria, and Tunisia were facilitated by prepaid 2G/3G mobile connections and didn’t require high-speed wireline connectivity with broad penetration.

Curated BoardThe digital dividend: higher bar for strong economic impacts

Higher levels of wireline penetration are correlated with strong economic impacts (as measured in the World Economic Forum's 2015 Networked Readiness Index): the hurdle for digitally-fueled economic change is high.
