The development of a knowledge based economy is contingent upon a robust ICT infrastructure. The provision of e-Government services, uptake of e-Business by SMEs, e-Content production/dissemination and innovation in public education can only happen when there is accessible, ubiquitous, affordable, reliable and high quality ICT infrastructure. In order for ICT to really become an engine for growth and economic prosperity in the Region there needs to be:
- The propagation of a high speed connectivity infrastructure (broadband access) to support e-Commerce, e-Government, e-Education and e-Health;
- Improvements in quality of service, and pricing of telecoms services;
- High quality, locally relevant content leading to the increased use of related ICT services;
- The optimal routing of local and internet data traffic through regional networks; and
- A robust data hosting industry and infrastructure.
With these firmly in place a second layer of infrastructures (e-Services infrastructures) can be built to support e-Commerce, IP-Telephony, e-Education, e-Health and just about any other e-service and online application.
