Connecting Rural Communities is one of the most pressing developmental challenges facing policy makers and community activists in large parts of South Asia. It can be the lever for the delivery of a huge variety of critical aid. Self-sustaining growth in broadband access and other more basic connectivity channels must be achieved.

Connecting Rural Communities is one of the most successful CTO events, with the events hosted in Africa and Asia each year. The event provides business opportunities for operators and funding agencies alike, bringing them together on a platform where they can build new bridges and share valuable insights. Key topics have focused on broadband roll-out for rural areas, broadband policies for rural communities, e-development through applications and services, and business economies for rural broadband.
