The importance of telecommunication as a service industry in itself as well as a critical support element for other service industries has been for the last few years and continues to be the subject of high level policy formulation in practically every country in the world and Seychelles is no exception. This has led to changes such as the separation of telecommunication operations and regulator, privatization of telecommunication operators and the introduction of competition. Recognizing the importance and the potential of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the development of a country, the Government, took the initiative to form a National ICT Consultative Committee and tasked the committee with the responsibility to formulate a National ICT Policy (NICTP). Nevertheless, the publication of the National ICT policy is the output of the collaborative effort of several people from Government, private sector and civil society, including members and non-member of the National ICT Consultative Committee. The activities that have led to this publication served to further highlight the value of partnership, sharing of information and resources between various stakeholders. The NICTP articulates five areas of focus namely; ICT infrastructure, Legal and Regulatory Framework, Human Resource Development, ICT Industry and Government. Mindful of the cross-sectoral nature of ICT, it is important to note that these five areas are all integrated and interdependent.
