  • The report examines the 'Global Connectivity System' and the policy tensions surrounding the Internet's evolution. It highlights risks to sustainable development stemming from the potential loss of net neutrality, restrictive intellectual property rights, and the shift toward 'tethered' closed devices. It also analyzes infrastructure challenges, such as the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 and the lack of universal broadband in Africa. Governance concerns focus on the internationalization of ICANN and the sustainability of the IETF's volunteer-led model. Finally, it addresses the Internet's ecological footprint, specifically the high energy demands of data centers and the environmental costs of e-waste and mineral extraction in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
