ESCAP has published a working paper that aims to examine the effect of open international gateways on broadband connectivity markets in the Asia-Pacific region.

ESCAP launched a new study on the State of ICT in Asia and the Pacific, which uncovers the widening broadband divide in the region. Broadband connectivity is a critical foundation for the digital economy and sustainable development.

This study is part of an annual series, developed by the Information and Communications Technology and Disaster Risk Reduction Division of ESCAP. It provides a yearly overview of natural disasters in the Asia-Pacific region and its impacts.
