Skill development among women to exploit digital connectedness is key. Women entrepreneurs stand to benefit by not only being able to access content online, but also by understanding the market for business innovation. They are able to bring out a number of by-products of their main business through interactions online with their customers. To reach the last-mile, it is important to consider placing the technology in the hands of communities. Their ability to turn connectivity into a business opportunity is unquestionable. Connectivity experiments around the world where the local communities were able to exploit wireless technologies encourage governments to consider allowing unlicensed spectrum for ICT-enabled community development activities. Communities can bulk-purchase backhaul from telcos and turn that into a business activity for themselves. They can further distribute access and manage community broadband network the way they see profitable. Public libraries, community information centres, and other public access points make it easier to achieve last-mile connectivity. Lack of digital content in Myanmar language pose a major problem in last-mile connectivity; hence, it is important to consider a targeted approach to address the same. Similarly, lack of digital skills among communities, and, women in particular, serve as impediments to the growth in rural broadband. It is important to have a targeted program to address the skills-gap among women in rural and remote locales. There are a few digital literacy courses in Myanmar which the public sector might consider scaling-up as a nation-wide program; there are also academic teacher-based activities for use in schools as well as ICT toolkits for teachers. The workshop also served as soft launch for IREX’s latest research on women’s digital access in Myanmar, and the Web Foundation’s Digital Gender Gap Audit, including report cards for India and the Philippines.
