Financing Information and Communication Infrastructure Needs in the Developing World : Public and Private Roles Paperback

Paperback

Description

Over the past ten years, private-sector-led growth has revolutionized access to telecommunications.

Every region of the developing world benefitted in terms of investment and rollout.

This revolution would have been impossible without government reform and oversight.

Advanced information and communication infrastructure (ICI) are increasingly important to doing business in a globalizing world.

Governments, enterprises, civil society, workers, and poor populations in the developing countries need more affordable access.

This report proposes strategies that governments can carry out to attract private investment, and ensure the continued evolution and spread of information and communication infrastructure.

These strategies encompass more than sector policy alone, for investment decisions are based on a wide range of factors including, for example, the roles played by financial sector development and the broader investment environment.

The strategies also include potential public sector investments that can catalyze ICI rollout in subsectors, where the private sector is not prepared to intervene on its own.
