This chapter illustrates some of the initiatives that the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) participated in and launched of relevance to this category. The most debated issues were: public private partnership (PPP) as model for implementing broadband networks, the application of lessons from Moore's law in order to promote broadband and achieve the SDGs, key factors to make rural communication projects successful and sustainable, evolving IMT systems, standards, technologies and architecture supporting mobile broadband, the ITU GIS-based transmission maps as a useful tool for identifying the missing links and improving broadband connectivity. This new Agenda will constitute the new global shared vision, goals and targets to be achieved by 2020 in collaboration with all stakeholders across the ICT ecosystem. The maps are a cutting-edge ICT-data mapping platform for taking stock of national backbone connectivity (fibre and microwave) as well as of other key metrics of the ICT sector, the platform currently covers Africa, the Asia-Pacific region, the Arab States, CIS, Europe and Latin America, with data from more than 300 operators.
