How to build a digital infrastructure that benefits emerging economies

A worker prepares a roof for a shelter for tsunami victims at a fishing hamlet in Panavalan Kudi, in the southern Tamil Nadu state, January 9, 2005. At least 156,000 people were killed across Asia by the Dec. 26 earthquake and subsequent tsunami, the most widespread natural disaster in living memory. Well over 100,000 are missing, and there is little hope of finding many of them alive. NO RIGHTS CLEARANCES OR PERMISSIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR THIS IMAGE. REUTERS/Kamal Kishore  KK/FA - RP5DRIEXUTAA
