Abstract
In this paper, we describe the networking and distributed systems challenges and opportunities that are present in adoption of information and computing technology (ICT) in the developing world, and illustrate connections between these challenges and current distributed systems and networking research programs. We suggest that this agenda form a core element of the ambitious program of network experimentation now commencing in the United States, European Union, and Japan.
