The Broadband Commission first launched its targets in 2011, at the Broadband Leadership Summit, with an initial end-date foreseen for 2015. Today, in mid-2016, progress in the growth of Internet towards meeting these targets has been mixed, with most targets not yet achieved over the initial timeframe. The third target and target 4 (for LDCs) will be achieved by 2016, with good progress in the first and second targets. The fourth target has not been achieved in the original timeframe (except for LDCs). Regrettably, there seems to be backwards progress in the fifth target calling for gender equality in access to broadband Internet.
