Answer 1:
At the Huawei Cloud Congress (HCC), Huawei's Chinese equipment
manufacturer presented the Global Communication Index (GCI). It is
a fascinating analysis that shows that communication and gross
domestic product ( GDP) are closely related.
Better GDP with connectivity:
- As per Huawei, it's the first comprehensive appraisal of
connectivity and its importance from both national and industrial
viewpoints; while both the ITU and Ericsson can disagree, Huawei's
study argues that with each GCI percentage point, the GDP per
capita of a nation rises by 1.4-1.9 percent, which is comparatively
higher with developing nations.
- "This result is widely mirrored in the previous ITU report,
which stated:" The greater the penetration of broadband, the
greater its contribution to economic development, "which also
reflects" the positive contribution of broadband to job development
in developing countries and developed countries.
- Only as smart devices proliferate would the value of such
networking increase-Huawei predict that as many as 100 billion
connections will be created globally by 2025, 90 percent will come
from intelligent sensors.
A modern revolution in manufacturing:
- According to Huawei announcement, "By exploiting networking to
streamline business operations, minimize costs and increase
performance, companies can accelerate creativity and shift the
emphasis from a consumer-driven internet to an industrial
one."
- The study measured each nation's connectivity score based on 16
criteria, including the pace and affordability of the Internet,
mobile connections, and installs of software.
- Germany topped the index due to its easily accessible,
low-cost, high-speed connectivity and fast adoption of Internet
networks. In a simulation relative to the base year 2008, a
previous Ericsson study concluded, "Doubling broadband speeds for
an economy will add 0.3 percent to GDP growth."
- The development of mobile and fixed internet networks is
fuelled by banking, education, oil, gas, and manufacturing sectors.
Consumer loyalty increases decreased operating costs, and
competitiveness is pushing more expenditure.
