Abstract
Currently Papua New Guinea (PNG) is in a transitional phase in IT age. We may say that we are up there with the rest, but the true determining factor which determines how well developed a nation is with respect to information technology, is up-time and cost of ownership per capita.
Currently those two factors are not in our way at the moment. Monopoly of the communication industry has placed a strenuous bottle-neck on the over-all growth of information technology and its related technologies.
In this paper, it is pointed out the need for a proper Information Technology (IT)) policy as well as the need to empower proper regulatory bodies to ensure that technology serves its primary purpose without any violation of any fundamental morals that the country holds dear.
Keywords
ICT, Web, ITU, Information, Technology, ISP
I believe there is an policy written without the inout from other stakeholders.
A direct result is the current war between the mobile carriers.
