Discussion of the Decade
The Marconi Society is convening a first-ever global conversation to identify and solve the technology and policy issues that must be resolved in the next decade to connect everyone in the world.
Led by Marconi Society Chair Vint Cerf, this collaboration will produce work that could potentially include:
- Symposia and discussions to define, discuss, and collaborate on key issues
- White paper on technical requirements and barriers for essential broadband
- Study of the current state of connectivity in key countries
Guidance for Governments
Marconi Fellows and Young Scholars offer their expertise to guide governments in the policies and technology needed to deliver a safe, open, and accessible network to all.
Past consultations have included insights on E911 systems, the potential for blockchain technology in GovTech, security, and other topics.
