Why Internet Access Is a Modern Necessity

Internet access is essential for education, economic opportunity, and social participation in the modern world. Digital inclusion reduces inequalities and connects people to vital services. Lack of access can limit job prospects and civic engagement. Tracking internet access helps identify digital divides and guide infrastructure investment. Expanding connectivity is key to sustainable development and innovation.
