Talk:Global Connectivity Index

My name is Damian, I am a Digital Strategist at Social@Ogilvy Hong Kong, and I am writing on behalf of my client Huawei Technologies. We would like to request an update to the Global Connectivity Index article, the index is commissioned by Huawei Technologies and the 2015 report was published in April 2015.

As a result we would like to update the article with the latest information regarding the methodology behind the data, the latest results, key findings from the 2015 report and new sources.

Please find the updated article below including updated sources.

Hi there. My name is Anna, I am a Strategist at Social@Ogilvy Hong Kong, and I am writing on behalf of my client Huawei Technologies.

Although this Global Connectivity Index is commissioned by Huawei, to maintain the neutral stance of these findings as a completely separate project, we've updated the page with 1) most updated methodology, results, key findings and 2) no mentions of Huawei. As a result, we wonder if you can review the page and potentially have the warning box removed?

Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

Looking at the article history and previous discussion here, it seems that this page documents a specific index initiative primarily associated with Huawei publications from 2014–2019, and that this has been a source of long-standing neutrality concerns.

At the same time, the term “Global Connectivity Index” itself is quite generic, and today it is used more broadly to refer to different types of connectivity or internet performance indices, reports, and measurement projects.

From a reader’s perspective, it may not be immediately clear whether this article: - refers to a specific historical index initiative, or - represents a general concept covering multiple connectivity indices.

Would it make sense to clarify the scope more explicitly in the lead, or possibly consider a disambiguation approach to distinguish this historical index from other uses of the same term?

Raising this as a structural question for discussion. ~2025-42165-26 (talk) 22:49, 21 December 2025 (UTC)

Just a gentle follow-up on the scope clarification question above, in case any editors would like to weigh in. Happy to follow whatever structural approach the community prefers. ~2025-42165-26 (talk) 16:10, 11 January 2026 (UTC)
