The 14th Meeting of the Expert Group on Telecommunication/ICT Indicators (EGTI) of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is held on September 18-21 in Geneva, Switzerland. The objective of the meeting is to examine the contributions received from members during the current working period, with a view to finalizing the items under discussion. EGTI meeting will discuss several topics, including a report of the subgroup on the development of indicators measuring over-the-top (OTT) services, a report of the subgroup on measuring fixed broadband penetration, and the outcomes of a pilot data collection of recently introduced indicators on mobile money. The meeting will also review progress on the exploration of the feasibility of developing internationally comparable indicators to measure middle-mile connectivity (statistics on IXPs, and data centers, including their environmental impact). As part of the event, a joint meeting on the ICT Development Index (IDI) is held on September 18 and 19 to discuss the final IDI methodology for approval and adoption.
