Summary

Podcast #18 of CTN delves into a critical topic at the intersection of technology and society: the role of communication technologies in connecting underserved communities. Despite the global transition from 5G to 6G, up to one-third of the world’s population still lacks access to broadband or any form of connectivity. How can 6G finally bridge the much-discussed digital divide? In this episode, host Professor Aryan Kaushik and guest Professor Mohamed-Slim Alouini explore this vital issue.
