 Hello,

I am a research fellow at the Center for Technology, Innovation and
Competition at the University of Pennsylvania.  I work on a project named 1
World Connected, which seeks to catalog all innovative efforts to expand
the Internet’s reach and improve adoption. We hope to do so by compiling
and disseminating case studies about these initiatives, as well as
empirically assessing their impact using available data.  The hope is to
give key decision makers a firmer, data-based foundation for determining
the best approaches for achieving the goal of universal connectivity. We
launched our website a couple of days ago with a few initial case studies;
they can be accessed at 1worldconnected.org.

Over the last few months, we have undertaken a broad literature survey to
compile a list of initiatives and projects around the world that are
currently aiming to improve connectivity across the world. I am sharing the
preliminary results of my survey here. The list spans different supply- and
demand-side initiatives across a range of technologies and stakeholder
groups (community networks, TVWS trials, digital literacy programs,
accessibility initiatives etc.) I have identified key information about
each initiative and categorized them on an excel sheet, available here:
https://goo.gl/rZLsWN

One of our main goals is to expand the list of potential case study
candidates in order to be as broad and inclusive as we can. Given the
number of people here that are involved in research or deployment of
innovative connectivity initiatives, it would be immensely valuable to us
if you could point us in the direction of initiatives that you may be
familiar with that could become potential case study candidates for our
work. I look forward to your input.

Thanks and regards,
