| The United Nations invites ISPs to support the network during the epidemic |
The United Nations has asked Internet service providers to support the network and build capacity to prevent the long-term effects of the Coronavirus epidemic. The United Nations Advisory Council has put in place a program to ensure that the networks on which the world depends depend on strong and flexible coverage of the largest possible population during a health crisis.
The agenda set during the virtual emergency meeting describes the immediate actions that governments, companies, the international community, and civil society can take to support digital networks and build capacity.
More than 100 representatives from all over the world attended the virtual conference attended by international organizations, technical departments, civil society and science, including global CEOs, CEOs and leaders in health technology and industrial enterprises.
When adequate health advice is needed, network operators and technology companies are required to enhance digital collaboration and accelerate efforts to connect the rest of the population without access to the Internet.
The United Nations agency focused on information and communications technology and said: "According to the International Telecommunication Union, developing countries still account for the vast majority of 3.6 billion people, and these people are still not fully involved connected to the Internet."
"While the coronary artery pandemic threatens all of humanity in developing countries, we need to take measures to ensure that no one is left behind," said Houlin Zhao, Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union and Vice-Chairman of the Committee.
"This unprecedented crisis shows that if we are not all safe, no one will be safe. It also shows that we cannot exploit the full potential of broadband if not all of them are connected."
The business plan is based on three pillars: flexible and flexible communication, affordable access and safe use of an informed and educated community. On this basis, various recommendations include increasing bandwidth, restoring access to restricted services and prioritizing important services, increasing affordability, increasing service availability and increasing child safety lines.
The agenda forms the framework for the 50 members of the United Nations Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development (BCSD), each representing their own organization or company.
"Technology companies must do everything possible to combat misinformation and improve access to data of public interest. Thousands of children need access to the internet outside of the Internet for the first time," said Fabrizio Hutchild, Under-Secretary-General and Special Adviser to the United Nations. Protect this crisis. "
