Ten years after the first Summit took place in Geneva, information and communication technologies have gained even greater importance. Today, there are nearly 7 billion mobile phone subscriptions. More and more people are using the Internet, giving them access to vital information and knowledge. This is welcome progress. At the same time, we must do more to close the digital divide and ensure that all people have access to transformational information and communications technology. The digital revolution must be inclusive and serve as an instrument to promote equality. Your efforts are especially important as we accelerate efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by the quickly-approaching 2015 deadline, and as we strive to define an ambitious and inspiring post-2015 development agenda. The ability to process data in new ways, in great volume, in real time, can help us to significantly improve policy-making, early warning and much else. I count on you to identify ways to shape technological progress so that we may promote sustainable development, the overarching global challenge of our time. In this spirit, I wish you great success.
