Falling prices are fueling growth in high-speed Internet services, especially in developing countries. Recently the International Telecommunication Union released its “Measuring the Information Society 2011″ report. The ITU, part of the United Nations, compared access, use and skills in one hundred fifty-two countries.The report says South Korea has the world’s most developed economy in information and communication technology, or ICT. Sweden, Iceland, Denmark and Finland were also among the top five in the ICT Development Index. The index compares two thousand eight and two thousand ten scores. Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Vietnam and Russia had some of the biggest improvements between those years. Susan Teltscher is head of the ICT Data and Statistics Division at the International Telecommunication Union in Switzerland. She says most of the growth has come from one source. “Mobile broadband is now leading the growth race among the different ICT indicators — much higher than the other key indicators that we look at, like regular mobile phone subscriptions, fixed telephone or fixed broadband. … And the good news is that it’s also starting to grow in developing countries.” Mobile broadband subscriptions reached eight hundred seventy-two million by the end of last year. Three hundred million of those are in developing countries. Ms. Teltscher says “If we can bring Internet over the mobile phones, then we can really make a difference in terms of improving Internet access also in developing countries.” Falling prices are adding to the growth, she says: “Especially in the broadband area, the prices dropped by over fifty percent between two thousand eight and two thousand ten — which is a very encouraging finding because this was primarily drops in the developing countries.” Even so, the report says people in many low-income countries are still paying too much for high-speed Internet connections. In Africa, broadband service for a home or office cost almost three times an average monthly income last year. That was down from six and a half times as much in two thousand eight. Also, there are big differences in broadband speed and quality from country to country. South Korea has Asia’s fourth largest economy. Susan Teltscher says, “If you look at … what they have been achieving in terms of ICT development, it’s actually higher than what you would expect given their national income.” For VOA Special English, I’m Carolyn Presutti.

The Heiveld Co-operative gets small-scale farmers a fair price for their organic Rooibos tea.
The highlands of South Africa’s cape are one of the country’s poorest areas. The low rainfall and poor soil in the area make farming difficult but these conditions are perfect for Rooibos plants. The local Koysan people have long sworn by the medicinal properties of Rooibos tea. Free from caffeine, the tea has now become popular among the health-conscious.
Koysan farmers were routinely exploited in a market dominated by big agriculture companies. As Heiveld’s Barry Koopman remembers, “We didn’t know much about business and marketing. You would just take your tea to a company and they would say ‘it’s this much per tonne’, and you’d just have to accept it. You couldn’t protest.”
But in 2001, 14 Koysan farmers formed the Heiveld Co-operative to win a better deal for themselves. The Co-operative took charge of every stage of tea production, from growing to marketing to export. They were helped by a new consumer preference for fair trade and chemical-free produce. Heiveld tea is now on sale in the US, Australia, New Zealand and much of Europe and the marketing team is developing taste combinations to crack new markets.

Professor Mervyn King explains Integrated Reporting, at the launch of South Africa’s new Framework for Integrated Reporting and the Integrated Report Discussion Paper on 25 January 2011.
South Africa is the first country to issue specific guidelines defining the content of an integrated report for listed companies. Integrated Reporting is now a stock exchange listing requirement for South African companies and will replace the old form of annual report which focused primarily on financial information and the short-term horizon.
An integrated report does not simply bolt the sustainability report to the financial report. It incorporates, in clear language, material information from these and other sources to enable stakeholders to evaluate an organisation’s performance and to make an informed assessment about its ability to create and sustain value.
