What has worked, with regard to voice connectivity offered in LDCs and to populations with similar characteristics in other developing countries, is innovation driven by competition.13 What is likely to work with regard to data connectivity in LDCs is some variant of this solution. It is now diffusing throughout the developing world. The evidence lies in the two "snapshots" taken by Nokia in 2007 and 2009 across 77 emerging economies, where the cost of the same basket of OECD low-user voice calls, monthly rentals, l/36th of connection charges and the cheapest available Nokia handset and all associated taxes were compared.14 As illustrated in Chart 3.1 below, in 2007, the average was USD 13.16, and only four countries were below the USD 5 threshold. This included one LDC, Bangladesh.
