We regard universal access as much more than an industry goal – for us it is a responsibility

Mobile telecommunications devices are used all over the world by more than two and a half billion people, a figure which increases by over a million new subscribers every day. Our vision is of connected societies that enable people to fulfill their potential and realize their aspirations.

Access is the key

We believe that universal access to communications technology is a powerful weapon when it comes to fighting social exclusion. As a market leader, our vision at Nokia is to bring affordable access to mobile products and services to billions more people, especially those in the developing world. We believe that communities and nations worldwide can, and should be able to, benefit from all the social and economic improvements that mobile technology can create - from better access to information and knowledge to enhanced business opportunities and the increased potential to network and connect to others in one’s community and beyond.
