| 6.1) | Government's objectives include social upliftment and economic growth. One of the methods to achieve these goals is to increase the access to and availability of Broadband services. Broadband services open the global village to South Africa and its citizens by providing an electronic communications highway and enabling its people to communicate and transact anywhere, anytime in both urban and rural areas. South Africa's economy is in a transition phase like many other developing economies around the world, and investment into Broadband is crucial for South Africa to progress into a knowledge based economy. Broadband is a key catalyst to accelerate the country's developmental agenda as well as to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. |
