Today ICT plays a key role in socio-economic development. Challenges in the formation and development of the information society that are particularly poignant are the overcoming of the digital divide, the access of women to ICT for their full social realization and broadband access to the Internet. In order to meet them infrastructure and content must be developed and security is an inseparable part of content. The International Telecommunication Union along with UNESCO and other UN agencies formed a Broadband Commission for Digital Development. The aim of the commission is for every country to have its own national plan for the development of broadband access, to harmonize national plans and provide for the exchange of leading experience and help with the accelerated implementation of UN Objectives on the threshold of the millennium.
