What they said
We simply cannot continue to do business as before. Let us seize this opportunity to accelerate progress towards connecting all of humanity. Let us work across borders and sectors to build back better together.
ICTs have proved vital in helping us to adapt and respond to the challenges of living, working and learning remotely, becoming essential to the recovery of our economy and social activities.
It is time for integration. The time for silo operations is gone. Let us build the digital world as the new world.
With the right mix of technology, we can achieve the promise of 5G and close the digital divide, making sure technology can bring about a more equitable society
There is no technical issue in developing 5G – it’s the business case and services issue, how do we deploy profitably with new business cases.
5G energy efficiency is not just a business issue, but also a social responsibility.
4G was technology designed to connect everyone. 5G is technology designed to connect everything.
COVID-19 is the first pandemic in human history where knowledge has been used on a massive scale to keep people safe, connected and informed at all times.
Our key priority now should be not just connectivity, but meaningful and affordable connectivity for all at this critical time.
Connectivity is the most effective tool in keeping people virtually together and physically distant.
