Internet and Big data provide an unprecedented opportunities for remote area to achieve leapfrog development, however the issues of poverty and environment fragility greatly threaten the well-being of the people living there. With limited internet access and tech-savvy knowledge, they are most vulnerable to the problems such as internet fraud,cybersecurity,digital gap etc. As a result, it is vital that we establish the internet infrastructure with customized internet governance structure in mind, which demands close collaborations between private and public sectors and other multi-stakeholders.
Using technology ( internet,big data etc) to address the issues of poverty and environment is consistent with UN new sustainable development goals agenda.
