Abstract:
The Basic Internet Foundation aims at optimized con- tent delivery for capacity-limited networks, and thus provides free access to basic information to everyone. In this paper we describe the main technological challenges of the content delivery, being the concept of information, the remote administration of access points and the inclusion of Internet of Things (IoT) information. Basic Internet aims at offering free access to information on low capacity Internet lines to people lacking Internet coverage or the ability to pay for mobile data. The main contributions of this paper are solutions that the foundation as well as other programs or companies have addressed encouraging digital development and inclusion.
