Oorkoepelend aan hierdie planne en dus 'n kritiese prioriteit, is inligting- en kommunikasietegnologie wat beide 'n fasiliteerder en 'n sektor in eie reg is. Ons sal dus vanjaar die lisensiëring en inwerkingstelling van Infraco afhandel. Geld is reeds aan Sentech toegewys om 'n koordlose Internetgroothandelaar te word en om sy digitasie te finansier. In samewerking met ander regerings op die kontinent en met die privaatsektor, sal ons die proses om kabels onder die see aan te lê, afhandel.
Cutting across these plans, and therefore a critical priority, is information and communications technology both as a facilitator and a sector in its own right. Accordingly, we will this year complete the licensing and operationalisation of Infraco. Already, money has been allocated for Sentech to become a wireless internet wholesaler as well as finance its digitisation. Working with other governments on the continent and the private sector, we will complete the process to launch the undersea cables.
