WTDC-10

World Telecommunication Development Conference (Hyderabad, 2010)

24 May - 4 June 2010 - Hyderabad, India

The World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC-10), which took place in Hyderabad, India from 24 May to 4 June 2010 attracted 924 participants, including government delegates, Ministers, Ambassadors and representatives from the private sector, as well as regional and international organizations. It was an opportunity to review the programmes and activities of ITU-D as well as to set the agenda for the following four-year cycle. The Regional Preparatory Meetings (RPM) held in 2009 and early 2010 will provided regional input for WTDC-10.

Policy-makers and regulators pledged to promote affordable access to telecommunications and ICTs aimed at fostering sustainable development worldwide, with attention given to least developed countries (LDCs) and countries with special needs. New opportunities arising from the widespread use of ICTs were also cited in improving e-government services such as healthcare and education and to step up the drive to alleviate poverty and create jobs, especially among poor and marginalized populations, including women, children, indigenous peoples and persons with disabilities.

The Hyderabad Action Plan consists of a comprehensive package that will promote the equitable and sustainable development of telecommunication and ICT networks and services worldwide. The five Programmes identified are:
  • Information and communication infrastructure and technology development
  • Cybersecurity, ICT applications and IP-based network-related issues
  • Enabling environment
  • Capacity-building and digital inclusion
  • Least developed countries, countries in special need, emergency telecommunications and adaptation to climate change
