“Global Connecters”:



Just a quick note to say THANK YOU !



A key message to finance ministers + MDBs -- “investments in internet
access is actually an investment in people," Secretary John Kerry, April
14, 2016.



Thrilled to announce support of over 35+ countries and thanks to everyone
from the technical, policy, industry and NGO communities for guiding us.



Proud of  our 65 new and ongoing connectivity initiatives, with investments
valued @ more than $20B (see below Global Actions doc).



Universal, affordable connectivity is an ambitious goal but – with nearly
60% of the globe still lacking Internet access – looking to all of you for
your advice and ideas in helping  to continue to shape this important
international push.



congratulations everyone.



Manu
