ICT Trends: pros ICT Trends: pros
• Internet as the fastest-growing medium: e.g., global accesses in 205 countries;
• Absence of centralized control or authority over the use of Internet developed at markets without or least regulations;
• ICT as great potentials for small & large enterprises with more employment opportunities;
• ICT with great potentials and numerous possibilities of applications from e-commerce, e-government, to e-medicine;
• Estimated e-commerce sales in 2003/5 are US$ 1,000 billion compared to US$26 billion in 1996/7;
• Transactions (e.g., e-payment) across-borders especially via e-commerce; and
• Many others.

Prerequisites for access to ICTPrerequisites for access to ICT
Mechanisms to raise capital or funds (e.g., USO Funds), Development of infrastructure (e.g., electricity, road,
transportation), Payment mechanisms (e.g., banking, exchange with goods
