On October 14, 2024, Internet Society Regional Infrastructure and Connectivity Director Naveed Haq delivered a keynote speech at the IEEE Connecting The Unconnected (CTU) Summit 2024 in Dubai. His presentation, lavishly augmented with photos and video, centered on the deployment of the Everest Community Network , in partnership with the Nepal Internet Foundation. At 3,800 meters above sea level this is the the highest such network in the world, bringing high speed Internet to the remote Sherpa villages of Khunde and Khumjung, whose nearest road access is a two-week hike away.
Built with participation of village residents, and sustained by trained local engineers, a school lab, a hospital, and local lodges are all now successfully connected, enhancing education, healthcare, and economic opportunities.
