EDISON Alliance Impact Report 2024

I am pleased to say that we are on track to deliver our EDISON Commitment to improve the lives of nearly 30 million mariners and those in the disaster landscape by 2025. Digital access is a lifeline to those at sea and access is profoundly linked to mental health, family welfare, as well as the ability to access essential telemedicine, education and financial services. In the disaster landscape, ensuring that those suffering are able to access basic services allows communities to recover quickly. EDISON has motivated us further in our efforts to improve the lives of our users through digital inclusivity. Guru Gowrappan President, ViaSatAs a member of the EDISON Alliance, e& is at the forefront of global efforts to achieve digital inclusion.
