The Pacific Telecommunications Council (PTC) exists to make, and mobilize, big ICT connections in the Asia-Pacific region. Big connections are needed between leaders in the world of ICT in terms of advancing dialogue and professional relationships. Big connections are also needed between identifying the new ICT technologies now emerging and understanding the possibilities they represent. But the biggest connections of all are needed for the two billion people unable to participate in the digital society because they lack ICT facilities.
