Affordable internet is “1 for 2”

Closing the growing digital divide and achieving universal access means we must work toward a more ambitious affordability target — 1GB of mobile data priced at 2% or less of average monthly income.

LEARN WHY

The Alliance for Affordable Internet (A4AI) is a global coalition working to drive down the cost of internet access in low- and middle-income countries through policy and regulatory reform.
