This document discusses the importance of open internet policies and broadband access for economic growth. It summarizes that research has shown broadband access enhances economic growth, employment, and business development. Specifically, communities with broadband experienced more rapid growth relative to those without. While universal access is ideal, a holistic approach is needed that considers multi-stakeholder input, open standards, shared responsibility, and user-centric policies to promote innovation and new business models. Public-private partnerships are important to leverage resources and expertise to deploy modern networks.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

ICT4D community, Regional Multilateral organisations, Non-
traditional fora...
- Push for broadband access is key issue
Because wherever it exists, the Internet permeates every part of
life today
7
8. Why Broadband Access?
Broadband networks are an increasingly integral part
of the economy. As the technology evolves and
bandwidth increases, the scope for broadband to act
as an enabler of structural change in the economy
expands as it affects an increasing number of sectors
and activities. Direct effects result from investments in
the technology and from rolling out the infrastructure.
Indirect effects come from broadband 's impact on
factors driving growth, such as innovation, firm
efficiency, competition and globalisation. Broadband
facilitates the development of new inventions, new and
improved goods and services, new processes, new
business models, and it increases competitiveness
and flexibility in the economy.
- from OECD study http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/62/7/40781696.pdf
8
9. Data Suggests Broadband has Measurable
Impact
Various research studies indicate that the
deployment and use of broadband has a positive
measurable impact on the economy
- In a study conducted by CEGR (2003 ) for the Broadband Industry
Group on the impact of broadband on the UK economy, it estimated
that:
By 2015 , the productivity benefits of broadband could be as
much as 2.5% resulting in an annual increase to the UK Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) of £21.9 billion
Additional benefits that could be realised by 2015 were an
annual estimated increase in UK fixed expenditures of £8
billion and an increase in annual net exports of £11 billion
InfoDev study: http://infodev-study.oplan.org/the-study/folder.2006-02-02.6117616300/3-2-recognition-of-broadband-for-economic-development/
9
10. “The results support the view that broadband
access does enhance economic growth and
performance , and that the assumed economic
impacts of broadband are real and measurable .
We find that ... communities in which mass-market
broadband was available ... experienced more
rapid growth in employment, the number of
businesses overall , and businesses in IT-
intensive sectors, relative to comparable
communities without broadband at that time”
- Report by Academics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology
and Carnegie Mellon University

11. How about ICT Infrastructure and Foreign
Direct Investment (FDI)?
.. the greatest risks to investing in Africa generally
[are] political instability at the top of the list (77
percent of respondents ), followed by insufficient
public infrastructure (69 percent ), low workforce
skill level (58 percent), poor IT infrastructure (58
percent) and bureaucratic overhead (54 percent).
- A.T. Kearney 's Foreign Direct Investment Confidence Index for 2007
http://www.atkearney.com/shared_res/FDICI_2007.pdf
11
12. So...is the Solution...
- Install Telecommunications towers everywhere for
seamless connectivity?
- Deploy a national fibre optical network across the
country?
- Provide every metro area with Fibre to the
Premises?
- Provide broadband connectivity to every village?
- Provide every child with an OLPC-type laptop?
- Ensure redundant, efficient infrastructure, including
IXPs, multiple international gateways,...?
- Reduce the cost of access so every person can
afford it?
12
13. Overall Policy Environment is Key
- Harmonised policy and regulatory frameworks
That are open and promote growth and progress
- Fostering public-private partnership and private sector
investment
To make the best use of available resources and expertise
- Deploying modern networks and facilitating
convergence
Riding the wave as opposed to lagging behind
- Allowing competition, accelerating adoption of new
technologies
Encouraging new technologies and business models to be
deployed instead of creating barriers to adoption
- Promoting development and growth of local industry
Tax rebates, grants for use/promotion of technology
- Aspiring for universal access as a key priority
13
14. A Holistic Approach is Required
- Multi-stakeholder consultation and dialogue
- Adoption of open systems and standards
- Shared responsibility
- Ensuring the needs of the user are seen as priority # 1
- Ensuring the user has the right to exercise choice
- Ensuring innovation and new business models continue
to develop
