This document outlines the Philippine Digital Strategy (PDS) for 2011-2016. The PDS aims to transform the Philippines into a competitive digital economy through four strategic thrusts:
1) Developing e-government to improve service delivery and transparency.
2) Ensuring all people have access to affordable and reliable internet.
3) Promoting digital literacy nationwide.
4) Supporting growth of the IT industry and use of ICE in businesses.
The overarching goal is to empower citizens through digital technologies and partnerships between government, private sector, and civil society.
This document summarizes the Philippine Digital Strategy 2011-2016, which aims to transform the Philippines through increased use of information and communications technology (ICT) over five years. The strategy was developed through multi-sector consultations and reviews best practices. It envisions a digitally empowered society where everyone has reliable and affordable internet access. Key goals include transparent e-government, universal internet access, improving digital literacy, and growing the ICT industry. The strategy identifies action plans to work toward these goals by 2016.
Control over information is distributed unjustly, creating an "information oligarchy" where a small group controls information access and use. This negatively impacts human well-being, especially in impoverished regions lacking information wealth and access. A potential solution is promoting free and open source software, which grants users freedom over software use, modification, and distribution. This could help reduce information poverty by providing a wealth of technical knowledge and freeing users from outside corporate interests.
Nepal supports the multi-stakeholder approach of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) to address internet issues. The IGF provides a platform for stakeholders from developed and developing countries to discuss challenges such as the digital divide, lack of network infrastructure, and high internet costs. However, developing countries face disadvantages like an inability to keep up with technology and standard policies that increase competition. Nepal experiences issues including high bandwidth fees, online privacy and security risks, and a lack of policies and national infrastructure. The IGF should maintain its inclusive, transparent environment and developed countries should address the needs of developing nations to support continued internet growth.

Redes LTE Comunitárias no Brasil: Modelamento, Implantação e Manutenção Sustentáveis com base em Novos Paradigmas de Redes.
Projeto financiado pela FAPESP Processo: 18/23101-0
Resumo
Em relatório publicado pelo Comitê Gestor da Internet no Brasil (CGI.br) em 2018, em termos de acesso à Internet por banda larga no Brasil, há uma ampla desigualdade entre as classes econômicas A/B (maior) e D/E (menor), fato evidenciado nas análises entre as áreas urbanas e rural. Além de evidenciar que cerca de 34% dos brasileiros ainda não possuem acesso à Internet, o relatório também explica que o acesso à Internet é um catalisador de desenvolvimento social, econômico e tecnológico: fato consagrado em diversas pesquisas internacionais e enfatizado pela organização Internet Society. Redes sem fio comunitárias têm se tornado um meio sustentável de promover meios acessíveis de conexão à Internet,tanto em áreas rurais remotas quanto em regiões urbanas densas. Em sua ampla maioria, redes sem fio comunitárias adotam a tecnologia wifi, no entanto apenas recentemente, devido ao desenvolvimento de tecnologias de código livre e de baixo custo, o padrão Long-Term Evolution (LTE) começou a ser explorado para estes fins. Logo, não há conhecimento na literatura acadêmica de estudos que busquem utilizar e melhorar o padrão LTE aplicado à redes sem fio comunitárias. Nesse escopo, esta proposta busca trazer conceitos inovadores de novos paradigmas de redes, Redes Definidas por Software (Software Defined Networks -SDN) e Virtualização de Funções de Rede (Network Functions Virtualization - NFV), para o desenvolvimento de redes LTE comunitárias. Por meio de uma metodologia ágil de testes,conceitos de SDN e NFV serão aplicados no desenvolvimento de mecanismos que realizem o gerenciamento inteligente de recursos de redes LTE comunitárias visando desempenho eficiente e tolerância a falhas robusta, i.e., a sustentabilidade da rede. Todos estes estudos serão feitos tendo por base um levantamento de características de redes sem fio comunitárias em operação no Brasil proposto para o início do projeto. Ao final, a execução desta proposta irá produzir um material didático elucidando as formas de modelamento, implantação, e manutenção sustentável de uma rede LTE comunitária nos moldes dos estudos realizados por esta proposta (i.e., com todos os dados, avaliações, metodologias, e protótipos). Este material será utilizado como base de uma proposta de implantação de uma rede LTE comunitária no Brasil junto ao programa "Beyond the Net" da Internet Society.
