First off, I don't know how you could possibly read that into his message. With that aside, though, I feel the need to mention that perhaps the best way to help bring those in poverty up to a reasonable standard of living (basic health care, shelter, and food) is via education and training, both of which the internet can help with. Imagine two farmers, one of which lacks the internet. Which one will be more successful?

Because my bullshit detector went off when he was claiming 100% coverage. If you can't see the fact he's grand standing I don't know what to say. In near perfect conditions its not achievable let alone when the odds are stacked against people. Or are you forgetting the world is full of arseholes, war mongers, dictators, and centuries old hatred and conflict that often undermine efforts to improve other people. If that can be fixed in 10 I'll be well and truly surprised, hell if they even get proper phone networks, cell coverage, internet to rural communities in western nations I'll be mightily surprised.
