WEF Pushes Connectivity Credit Scheme to Link More People & Places to Internet

The World Economic Forum (WEF) is attempting to "bridge the digital divide" with a new incentive system that would work like carbon credits by rewarding service providers and technology companies that extend their networks to the poorest regions of the world.


The WEF itself points out that such communities often lack the basic infrastructure (roads and electricity) to make connectivity possible. They also lack the economic resources to make connectivity a profitable investment. In exchange, the WEF believes that these new credits, which are nothing more than social virtue points, will entice technology providers to engage in costly extensions to their networks.


Since the WEF is a primary player behind the push for a global government, it's not surprising that they're interested in enhancing the very thing that would enable mass surveillance and control. Of course, the elites at the center of this connectivity credit scheme would have us believe that their motives are pure and innocent.


"The pandemic has demonstrated just how important internet access now is for education and work; people who can’t get online are at significant disadvantage. Currently, 3.7 billion people in the world do not have internet access – almost half the world’s population. The gaps tend to be in the poorest areas....." the WEF explains.

Of course, this connectivity credit initiative is part of the Agenda 2030 plans, though its not exactly clear what internet connectivity has to do with environmental sustainability. Yet, here's the mapping, right from the WEF website:


Internet Governance section of Agenda 2030 sustainability goal roadmap/web.

The article about this scheme on the WEF website explained that "Governments are the ideal partner for making connectivity credits work at a national level. They already tax internet service providers and mobile network operators, and provide the spectrum licenses these businesses need to operate. This creates the potential for tax breaks, subsidies and other guarantees to be used to make the scheme attractive to businesses. Backing could also come from existing national subsidies for telecommunications, such as Universal Service Funds, which are often under-utilised."


We should expect a lot more "ideas" like this to come out in the near future as the spokes on the Agenda 2030 wheel continue to be unveiled. Carbon credits, connectivity credits, social credits....... Lord come get us!
