Policy constraints to electronic information sharinc in developing countries

摘要

The following observations were made during the course of the past eight years' work to develop Internet access in Africa and are submitted in the hope that they may be of use in other developing countries. The state of telecom facilities. The poor general level of telecommunication facilities—caused largely by policy factors—is clearly the most critical inhibiting element, but there also are a number of other major constraints—such as those described here—that need to be addressed in order to achieve a more conducive environment for information sharing.
