Geographic challenges and/or lack of public infrastructure does not allow for easy access. Many communities have low population densities, making economies of scale difficult and the provision of basic services too costly or less cost effective for operators. Some communities are not able to use their sovereign lands for collateral to secure loans, making it difficult to obtain financing for connectivity projects. Without Internet access, Indigenous communities cannot contribute to the global digital economy, nor can they experience the same socio-economic benefits that those with Internet connection have. To address the challenges that underserved areas face, communities around the world have taken innovative approaches to securing Internet connection. Some, like Rhizomatica in Mexico, have used experimental licensing for wireless connectivity. Others, like the Southern California Tribal Chairmen’s Association, address the lack of connectivity by partnering with tribal communities and small service providers to build broadband community networks. In ultra-remote areas, where significant creativity is needed to get Internet access, vans fixed with satellites have been used to bring the Internet to community members, such as in Little Rann of Kutch in Gujarat, India. And, some have become creative in combining local needs to promote women and agriculture projects by enabling connectivity in rural Nigeria. While others have focused on micro-finance and highly attuned local revenue retention for community projects in the poorest parts of South Africa. This panel will serve as an opportunity to discuss the unique challenges communities face around the world and some of the innovative projects currently being implemented to connect them, while working with key partners to amplify local sustainability and empowerment. Participants will hear about convenings, such as the Indigenous Connectivity Summit, existing connectivity projects run by, for, and with underserved people, and best practices moving forward. The panel will focus on how communities are creating an environment in which they can create innovative connectivity solutions, such as community networks, that lead to self-empowerment and sustainability, as well as the inclusion of women and young people for socio-economic development through connectivity and partnerships. We will use advance input from our partners to create a chapter on connectivity for underserved peoples, including Indigenous communities, for inclusion in the Connecting the Next Billion IV report, and we will create a report of best-practices for this session.</p>

Panelists will discuss the unique challenges communities face when attempting to access or build last-mile networks, including unique issues related to financing connectivity and securing loans or grants. They will present the projects they are currently working on to address these challenges, including community network buildouts, and how connectivity can positively impact communities, including access to health, education, and employment resources, self-empowerment, and the preservation of local culture and language. Each panelist will have 3-5 minutes to give background information on their community and the work they have accomplished there. They will then answer questions regarding best practices they have learned, the challenges they face, and how they have collaborated with a variety of stakeholders on their projects. Roughly twenty minutes will be set aside for questions and discussion with attendees.</p>
