O3b Networks : Mission


O3b Networks : Mission:

"Mission

At O3b Networks, our mission is to make the Internet accessible and affordable to everyone on the planet. We will enrich lives and ensure equal and fair access to information through ubiquitous, high-speed connectivity to the world’s content and applications.

We will accomplish this mission by reducing core transmission costs through innovative solutions for fixed and mobile operators and Internet service providers, enabling them to profitably offer better, faster, and more affordable connectivity to their customers.

The Internet has become the world’s information exchange and everyone should have the opportunity to participate."

“Most economic growth in the developed regions of Europe, North America and the Far East is driven by information and communications technology (ICT). What is less widely understood is that all economies are information economies. The free flow of information lowers the barriers to economic activity and stimulates growth and productivity, even economies that we do not normally regard as fully 'developed.' ... Connectivity is the key enabler of the information flow that defines modern economies. It is also the key enabler of an ongoing economic transformation in many Latin American, Asian and African countries."
