Actions
Description
5. 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...)
