New Public-Private Partnerships Needed

• Global telecomm build-out of technical
  infrastructure provides new possibilities for
  economic development
• Current market conditions have resulted in great
  capacities which are currently going unused --
  cannot be sold.
• As a matter of social responsibility, this unused
  capacity could be made available for stimulating
  future applications and markets -- by donation
  for use by research and education institutions.
• Public-private partnerships involving government,
  universities and private sector are needed
• We need more synergy and leverage from our
  currently fragmented investments.
