Evolution of ICT in the Pacific: Transformations and Future Prospects

This report highlights the transformative changes in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) across the Pacific from 1999 to 2010. Key developments include the establishment of digital strategies, improvements in connectivity through cables and mobile services, and the emergence of new players in the sector. It addresses challenges such as weak internet governance, the need for regulation, and evolving issues like cybercrime and digital rights. A roadmap for future governance and sector needs is suggested to enhance e-government, e-commerce, and education, aiming for a collaborative regional approach.
