SUMMARY
https://archive.org/download/fgv-brics-apr2025/fgv-brics-apr2025.EN.SUMMARY.pdf

A couple of speakers refer to the "Connect Humanity" initiative. They are
referring to the ITU's "Connecting Humanity" which is an ongoing process
kicked off by a study in 2020. This should be not be confused with 3 other
Connect Humanity entities, a US non-profit, and Indian NGO, or an
initiative to distro eSIMs in Gaza.
