This CEO tried to make digital inclusion an 18th Sustainable Development Goal

In today’s world, connectivity is a necessity not a luxury, says Hans Vestberg, Chairman and CEO, Verizon. He’s working to bring the internet to everyone on Earth "So there's been a remarkable growth in connected people on Earth. Today, two-thirds of the Earth's population have access to internet and some kind of broadband. But that also means that one-third are not connected to the internet today, which is roughly 2.5, 2.6 billion people not being connected."
