Attracting
investment into ICT infrastructure
|
Goal… To attract investment into information
infrastructure to meet universal access and full
backbone inter-connectivity aspiration.
Strategies… Facilitating regional initiatives to
attract investment into ICT infrastructure; and
coordinating multi-utility feasibility studies on
integrated infrastructure.
|
|
Independently of the current state of a country’s economy, the key
to future success is access… broadband access for the deployment of
information-intensive applications, wireless access for faster
deployment of services to the entire population, mobile access to
better serve needs of the largest number… access that is affordable
for mass use. But telecommunications in Africa are characterised
by a relatively low level of (mostly narrowband) tele-density. With
the integration of regional markets, the continent is ripe for rapid
growth in tele-density and for the development of new business
models based upon these access platforms. This could be realised
through smart partnerships between public, private and
not-for-profit sectors.
What we do
Through this programme, ATU promotes initiatives to attract
investment in access and backbone cross-border information
infrastructure in order to achieve universal access and full
inter-country connectivity.
To realise our goal, we are…
