#### Editor’s note

I’ve been banging this drum for a long time, and I’ll keep going: equitable access to the internet—the information, opportunities, and tools it brings, is a human right. While for many in the Wealthy West, the internet has been ubiquitous, large amounts of the Earth’s population still either don’t have access or their access is severely limited.
A couple of resources in this issue cover equitable access: from bridging the digital divide to measuring CPU capabilities per region. While my 30 GB plan costs $23 per month, in Saint Helena, 1 GB of mobile data sets a person back by $41. We can’t say that devices are “fast enough” and data is “cheap enough” for everyone to equally benefit from what the internet brings because it’s simply not true. Our work is not done until anyone, no matter their location, device, network, data plan, socioeconomic situation, can have the freedom to access the internet whenever they want or need to.
This is the last issue of the Performance Newsletter for this year. We hope you found it helpful and look forward to 2024. Have a restful end of the year!
