| Background
| More detailed and public information on the extent of telecommunications infrastructure is becoming essential in order to better understand access, connectivity gaps, opportunities and how they can best be addressed.
Within the telecommunication sector we are now seeing more layer separation and specialisation of services. This is creating a more complex network environment that requires a higher level of public transparency in order to understand how investments are benefiting society.
Currently most telecommunications infrastructure data are not available in a format that can be easily integrated into other geographic information systems precluding their use for analysis by regulators, researchers, and investors.
|-
| Reimagine Open Project
| There is a wide variance in approaches by operators and regulators with regard to transparency in the sector. Some operators publish a detailed network map and government communication ministries publish a detailed map of their national fibre backbone. Most countries publish nothing at all. What is needed is a change of norms to make transparency the default with operators and regulators alike.
This initiative will build upon existing data and on lessons learned from the Open movement to change the norms around transparency in the telecommunications sector. It will catalyse a multi-institution partnership focused on open standards and advocacy.
