Calls for Digital Connectivity to Close Education Divide
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) through the Digital Access Programme earlier in 2021 provided a grant to a non-governmental organisation, Aid for Rural Education Access initiative (AREAi), towards promoting community-based initiatives to enable students from low-income families access remote learning materials, digital education resources options and digital opportunities. FCDO explained that the core of the collaboration is premised on ensuring children in low-income rural clusters have access to quality education through equal access to digital learning.
The Education Digital Equity Initiative closed out with a National Digital Equity Focus Group Session on Wednesday July 7th, 2021 with key stakeholders in attendance from Internet Service Providers, Mobile Network Operators, Federal Ministry of Education, Development Practitioners and Civil Society Organisations.

A majority of networks connected to DE-CIX is made up of small ISPs as such internet exchanges allow them to save costs.
The Internet exchange provider DE-CIX said that its Mumbai facility had more peers than any internet exchange point (IXP) in Asia Pacific. “DE-CIX Mumbai currently has more than 359 networks peering at the exchange, placing it on rank one among 153 IXs tracked in 29 countries in the APAC region,” the company said in a press release, pointing to a PeeringDB ranking page.
Internet exchanges provide Internet Service Providers and Content Providers a facility to exchange traffic without going through telecom operators who provide the backbone of internet networks, resulting in cost savings for many content providers as well as ISPs. Small ISPs benefit much more as they can get access to popular content providers like Facebook, YouTube, Netflix, and so on without having to pay telecom operators for bandwidth.
