Cybersecurity:
Enhance security and build confidence in the use of ICT
applications Security concerns have been identified as a barrier to
the use of current
and next-generation networks for certain mission-critical
services (e.g. e-commerce, e-governance, e-payment and
e-health),
where it is important to ensure confidentiality, integrity
and availability of information systems. It is necessary to
address cybersecurity concerns in this programme in order
to realize the potential of networks for providing secure and
accessible e-service applications. This programme
should also develop a common understanding
of the issues of spam and cyberthreats, including
countermeasures. To minimize, prevent and
detect cyberthreats, it is also necessary
cybersecurity-related information, and to exchange good practices
to support effective mutual assistance,
response and recovery among members and between
government, business and civil society.

Internet
protocol: Integrate IP-based applications and value-added services
in the development of all kinds
of telecommunication networks

needs to be integrated
in the deployment of IP-based
applications and value-added ICT applications,
by taking into account
advances in technologies, the
importance of internet multilingualization,
the integration
of data and voice, user requirements
and socio-economic conditions.

Multipurpose
community telecentres (MCTs) and multipurpose platforms (MPPs): Continue
to expand the implementation of multipurpose platforms (MPP)
and multipurpose community
telecentres (MCT) and to introduce
ICT applications MCT and
MPP projects should be continued
and expanded, but with
quantifiable,
measurable and time-bound
objectives based on user needs.
To increase the number
of
services and
the benefits of MCTs,
especially in rural, isolated
and poorly serviced areas, ICT
applications should be introduced in
current and planned MPP and MCT
projects to extend the notion
of
universal access
beyond basic voice telephony.

E-strategies:
Developing national e-strategies and enhancement of ICT literacy, building public
awareness Development of national e-strategies,
including the necessary human
capacity-building to ensure long-term
sustainability and widespread
use of ICTs
taking
into account different
national circumstances.
Basic skills are necessary
for citizens
to enjoy
the benefits
and the opportunities of ICTs.
Priority should be given
to increasing basic
knowledge
on the
potential and
possibilities of ICTs and to stimulating increased
use of ICT applications.
