The ninth edition of the World Telecommunication/ICT Development Report is being published at the half-way point between the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) in 2005 and the target date for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in 2015. This gives us a unique opportunity for a mid-term review — so this report focuses on the WSIS targets, and shows us that while we have achieved much in some areas we still have far to go in others.

Target 1: Connect villages with ICTs and establish community access points

Target 2: Connect universities, colleges, secondary schools and primary schools with ICTs

Target 3: Connect scientific and research centres with ICTs

Target 4: Connect public libraries, cultural centres, museums, post offices and archives with ICTs

Target 5: Connect health centres and hospitals with ICTs

Target 6: Connect all local and central government departments and establish websites and e-mail addresses

Target 7: Adapt all primary and secondary school curricula to meet the challenges of the information society, taking into account national circumstances

Target 8: Ensure that all of the world’s population have access to television and radio services

Target 9: Encourage the development of content and put in place technical conditions in order to facilitate the presence and use of all world languages on the Internet

Target 10: Ensure that more than half the world’s inhabitants have access to ICTs within their reach
