Given that incomes tend to be lower in rural locations compared to urban areas, and many rural households simply cannot afford ICTs, shared access is a cost-effective means of providing rural connectivity. The establishment of community access points is also related to Target 4 on connecting public locations that can be used for shared access, such as libraries and post offices, and likewise to Target 10, which sets the goal of ensuring that more than half the world's inhabitants have access to ICTs within their reach. About half of the world's inhabitants live in rural areas, and one way of getting ICTs to them is through community access. It does not, however, address exclusively developing countries, since even developed nations still face some of the challenges of bringing ICTs to rural areas, particularly in terms of Internet and broadband access.
