Preparedness of the ICT Sector
Preparedness of ICT Sector
|
Electricity Infrastructure
| In most areas, infrastructure is reliable most of the time. |
Telecommunications Infrastructure
| Expansion and/or renovation of phone lines are occuring for most of the country. In most areas, dial-up model transfer of 56 Kbps is supported. |
Technology Availability
| ICTs (radio, television, computers, Internet connection) are available countrywide. |
Quality of Telephone Service
| Telephone mainlines are installed within one week; maintenance is part of the service contract; technical support for computers is of no problem; a small number of network administrators is available for support. |
Computer Technical Support
| Few places offer technical support for computers. |
Cost of Basic Services
| Electricity, telephone and Internet rates are too expensive. |
Regulatory Framework
| The telecommunication sector is a private or state-owned monopoly; there are no regulatory provisions for universal access and no plans exist to open services to competition. |
Availability of Expertise
| Training courses are multiplying, but courses for high-level personnel (software developers, programmers, experts in new languages etc) are still rare. |
