Strategic Priorities Social Change Initiatives and Actions Initiative 2 : Mobilising public and private actors around attractive IT access opportunities for each socioprofessional category • The rapid introduction of internet broadband infrastructure should be considered in relation to an optimal digital development of the territory, and to reduced cost for internet broadband access, especially in moderately populated zones. • Given that cost, for a large section of the population, is one of the major barriers to computer purchasing and internet access, within the framework of the public-private partnership, the government will ensure that attractive and suitable offers, such as computer plus internet, are available to different sections of the population. • Similarly, the introduction of public community access centres, drawing on existing telecom infrastructure, will extend access to new technologies to a wider range of citizens. • These facilities will focus notably on zones where offers of household internet access are not available or financially inaccessible. 32 D i g i t a l M o r o c c o The National Strategy for Information Society and Digital Economy - 2009-2013
