Convergence Issues
In defining ICT into the broadest of categories one would have
telecommunication, computer and networking technologies.
Technological
innovations that have occurred over the last few years have been combining all
of these into digital technology. It is this combination of all of these technologies
and the resulting blurring of the distinctions between the forms of delivery used to
carry different types of content that is called convergence.
The Government intends to promote the use of the Internet and electronic
commerce, but is mindful of the potential dangers inherent in interactive media.
The types of abuses that can occur are that of privacy, infringement of copyright
and computer hacking.
The Government would be also looking to enact legislation of the following
nature: review and strengthen if necessary the present Copyright Laws, Data
Privacy and misuse of computer network.
