Over the past few years, while the rapid evolution of the telecommunications industry has contributed significantly to global economic growth, people in many developing countries-with limited access to telecommunications services-have seen only a widening of the digital gap between the developed and developing world. With our expertise and experience in telecommunications, we are committed to addressing this economic and geographic imbalance by doing whatever we can to bridge the digital divide. We are creating competitive and customized telecommunications solutions to give people the opportunity to join the information society regardless of their income or geographic origin. In order to make this progress ongoing and sustainable, we provide support to train telecommunications experts, enhance the technological maturity of the industry, and drive telecommunications penetration in all of the countries in which we operate.
In some underdeveloped regions,telecommunications operators face major challenges in their efforts to establish and run networks because of poor infrastructure and low ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) rates.Our tailor-made Low-ARPU Solution is helping to ensure commercial success for operators and bring telecommunications services to remote regions of the world. Through the joint effort of Huawei and our telecommunications operator customers, the technological benefits of the modern world are reaching remote villages across the globe.People's lives are changing for the better as they take advantage of their new access to a full range of telecommunications services.
As part of our goal to enhance the levels of telecommunications locally, Huawei has set up 29 training centers globally that have produced a large number of technical experts for local communities and societies around the world.In addition, Huawei has also endowed education networks and provided equipment to projects in Ghana, Venezuela and many other countries globally,to educate and open up the world to local teenagers through Internet access.
