"This report focuses on the difficulties faced by operators in emerging markets looking to deliver data bandwidth cost effectively to challenging locations, including remote communities and busy cities. While the challenges are myriad, improvements in technology are increasingly making the business case viable and allowing operators to extend their reach to areas that just a few years ago would have been logistically and financially unfeasible to connect. We have enlisted the help of several experts in this field to discuss the most appropriate and efficient technologies for the various use cases of last mile connectivity." (Foreword)
