· Promoting ICT applications in areas such as education, health, and agriculture
· Providing greater coordination of Commonwealth countries’ positions and secure consensus on key international issues i.e. radio spectrum, standards, and Internet governance.

· Improving national regulatory environments
· Challenges in achieving universal broadband access
· Opportunities in spectrum management after WRC’15
· Emerging e-applications
