Communications develops economies, ignites innovation, brings people together,

revolutionises businesses, helps governments function effectively and

keeps nations secure.

BUT

To do all this it needs to involve everyone

There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected. The

scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be built is unprecedented, and we believe this is the most important problem

we can focus on.Mark Zuckerberg
