The world voting process itself has been designed to permanently improve global communications capabilities. The referendum offers a unique opportunity to spread both hardware and know-how.

A practical model that supports Multi-Purpose Community Telecenters (MTC) has been proposed by UNESCO and is already in use in several countries. These newly constructed communication stations provide remote areas with much needed access. Many areas simply need last mile installation that can be reasonably extended along national railway tracks and highway routes. Amongst the terrestrial systems that can be upgraded to accommodate the Telecenters are: the Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), whose copper wire offers some of the lowest cost connectivity possibilities; Optical Fiber Systems that have the added advantage of being high-bandwidth; and ultimately Wireless Access Systems (Cellular). Newly constructed wireline and wireless avenues are designed to become financially independent and operatively self sustainable after the referendum has been held.

More than one-third of the world's adults have no access to the new skills and technologies that could improve the quality of their lives. More than 130 million children have no access to primary schooling.

Basic education is in shambles both in the least developed countries and also in certain industrialized nations. Cutbacks in government expenditure have led to the deterioration of the learning system. The world vote establishes a firm link that connects the newly expanded telecommunications capabilities with educational institutions.

A favored side effect of the world vote is the wave of education, literacy and access to communications tools that comes with the very construction of the system. With a push of education across a broad range of ages and institutions, the future voters can be well prepared. Information is relevant to our survival and essential for our fundamental well-being.
