Background

The World Bank, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), Mozilla Corporation, the Internet Society (ISOC), Liquid Intelligent Technologies, CSquared, and Digital Council Africa are partnering to promote the collaborative development of open data standards for describing telecommunications infrastructure. The first challenge we have taken on is that of terrestrial fibre optic infrastructure.

You can read more about the project on the World Bank's blog: Making it Possible for the World to Log On.
