In the 80 and 90s connectivity was a luxury. In the subsequent decade of 2000s, it became an important facility which we came to rely on.
Today, in the second decade of the current century, it is an essential service. As basic as road, energy, water and dwelling. Connectivity is no longer just about voice or data.
