Speaking on equality and social progress during #MWC21 Keynote 1, @GSMA Chairman and @Orange CEO, @srichard says he sees three main challenges for the mobile industry to collectively face...
1️⃣ How to address the fact that half the world’s population - 4 billion people - aren’t currently unable to benefit from the digital revolution?

@srichard believes progress and technology can address this. #MWC21
2️⃣ How to take the lack of trust in digital life as data hacking, spreading propaganda, #fakenews and manipulation contribute to the rise of #techskepticism.

@srichard makes it clear the mobile industry must gain more trust. #MWC21
3️⃣ How the pandemic accelerated the digital transformation and created many solutions which can lower #carbonemissions.

But, @srichard says we must keep innovating. Meaningful progress is about using our abilities & resources to create a world where anyone can thrive. #MWC21

Here we go! @elonmusk is 'virtually' in the building and @mobileworldlive's @SpringhamJustin is our moderator for the session.
@elonmusk "There’s a need for connectivity in places that don’t have it and where it’s limited or expensive. You can think of Starlink as filling in the gaps between 5G and fibre to reach the most difficult 3-5%" #MWC21
@elonmusk - "The combined power of our satellites is over 5megawatts with 30 terabytes of data per second. In August we should have global connectivity for everywhere except the poles." #MWC21

On Monday morning, @MatsGranryd, @GSMA's Director General, took to the stage to deliver the first keynote of #MWC21: Our Connected World.

Here are just a few stand out quotes from his speech...
"The measure of a good leader is equal parts durability and new beginnings. With the pandemic, the world has tilted so dramatically in such a short period of time. The #mobile industry was there, a steady hand, showing leadership every single day." #MWC21
"Our industry is now one of the most powerful and public platforms in the world. By the end of 2021, #5G networks will cover a fifth of everyone on this planet." #MWC21
