The rapid adoption of the Internet, and in particular broadband Internet, has led central governments and local authorities around the world to reconsider how they leverage the potential of information and communication technologies to serve their own administrations more efficiently, reduce costs, and interact with the general public and the business community.
Central governments and local authorities are launching initiatives such as e-government programs, modernization of administration networks and implementation of innovative communications and efficiency tools. They are also developing national broadband programs and implementing them generally at local levels to boost their economic and social development, improve their territory's attractiveness and bridge the digital divide.
