Red Vic Lectures [Infrastructures]: Is Traditional Infrastructure Holding Back Connectivity Around The World?

Tue May 23 8 PM until 10 PM , red victorian

Organized by Zarinah Agnew

There are many efforts to build up various types of infrastructure in developing regions around the globe, and while these efforts are necessary, they too often overlook the vastly underserved populations in developed nations. Communications infrastructure in particular is critical to lifting people out of poverty as connectivity is increasingly necessary for education, socialization, employment, and citizenship. This talk explores how and why our communications infrastructure is serving so many people so poorly and how different communities around the world are adapting to get the connection they need.

This week Mikell taylor, team lead from Otherlab and Aero Research Team comes to talk to us on how infrastructures are letting down developing regions of the world.
