ducts to facilitate broadband access. Of particular priority here is the new road that is planned between Ganta and Zwedru. viii. Financial systems infrastructure To ensure all Liberians can become full network citizens they also require access to carrier neutral funds transfer and e-payments platforms which in turn require up to date banking and finance regulations. ix. Tower guidelines and Co-location LTA will ensure that wireless communications and broadcasting towers are not arbitrarily constructed and where technically feasible, carriers co-locate as much as possible. The rationale for co-locating is to maximize scarce resources, minimize environmental impact and reduce operational costs to ensure affordability of service. LTA will therefore ensure that no new mobile communication tower is built without its approval and that all towers are available for sharing at reasonable tariffs. Guidelines will be formulated in an inclusive multi stakeholder approach in conjunction with the LTA, Ministry of Public Works, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), local governments and operators/ owners of technology towers and buildings. Guidelines will specify tower heights, proximity to sensitive structures (eg schools, hospitals), co-location, and decommissioning. Where relevant the guidelines will comply with existing LTA regulation on infrastructure deployment. x. National Data Center The National Data Center (NDC) is another core infrastructure for supporting eGovernance. It seeks to consolidate services, applications and infrastructure to provide efficient electronic delivery of Government to Government (G2G), Government to Citizens (G2C) and Government to Business (G2B) services delivered by various Ministries, Agencies and Commissions (MACs) through a common platform seamlessly supported by core connectivity infrastructure. 5.2.2 Summary of Strategies The MOPT shall: 1. Promote the expansion and timely upgrade of ICT infrastructure; 2. Support the accelerated deployment of fiber optic, wireless backbone and last mile connectivity links; 3. Support the deployment of Infrastructure that ensures high bandwidth availability, and universal access throughout the country; 4. Provide efficient and effective access to all public right- of -way and tower zoning; 5. Encourage the development and interconnection of all National Databases; 6. Ensure appropriate protection for ICT infrastructure nationwide through the implementation of standard Cybersecurity and Privacy policies; 7. Remove bottlenecks and ensure expedient access to all Right –ofWay (ROW) over public land, and access to other state-owned infrastructural resources; 8. Coordinate with other infrastructure projects (e.g., fiber or duct laid during road works); 33
