To promote affordable broadband to all households based on the agreed “1 for 2” affordability target (1 GB of a standard mobile data package should not cost more than 2% of average monthly income). 2. To promote the uptake of internet and broadband services for development and national transformation 3. To ensure the development of an exhaustive broadband policy and implementation strategy to speed up ICT Uptake. Two key factors that will be addressed in the need for more rapid deployment of broadband and internet services are: a) Competition policy This policy will promote the development of a solid competition policy to ensure that ultimately consumers have a choice of options to ICT services at an affordable cost. This policy process will involve a multi stakeholder approach incorporating good international practices to encourage a level playing field and open competition by ensuring market players are fair, transparent and non-discriminatory. The LTA will develop regulations to discourage anti-competitive behavior including collusion, with appropriate punitive measures for breaches. b) Affordability Targets One of the chief reasons for low broadband uptake is the high cost of access. In order for the government to assess the effectiveness of the strategies below in improving 34
