Adopt policies focused on the development of broadband by category of the zone and income levels • Define the broad lines of the development of broadband by catagory of the zone (low-cost, residential, tourism, offshoring, etc.); • Rationalise investment to provide access in scarcely or moderately populated zones, through the public-private partnership and/or infrastructure sharing. 6. Promote low-cost equipment offers • Make available attractive offers, within the framework of public-private partnership, such as computer plus internet, suitable to different sections of the population (civil servants, pensioners, retired...). 7. Promote internet access and IT use outside the home by setting up community access centers • Set up 400 public community access centres (CAC) over the 2009-2013 period; • Each CAC will be equipped with computers, internet access and telephone sets; • The launch of these CAC will rely on public infrastructure, enabling private operators to provide affordable multimedia services to citizens (youth centres, girls’ residences, post offices...)
