The IT 2010 consists of three principles: building up human capital; promoting innovation; and investing in information infrastructure and promote the information industry. The ICT usage are categorized into five flagships comprising e-Government, e-Commerce, e-Industry, e-Education, and e-Society.
This ROADMAP – and the best practices and recommendations it provides – represents an unprecedented collaborative effort of senior government officials from thirteen nations, thought leaders from five global organizations, experts from two leading technology companies and academics from one of the world’s most respected universities. Economic growth depends increasingly on information and communications technologies (ICT); countries, enterprises and individuals need to harness this power through collaboration, innovation and development. This report demonstrates, by its process and its outcome, the enormous potential of open collaboration and information sharing.
NECTEC conducts an online survey of Internet users on an annual basis to study their profiles. The questionnaire is posted on NECTEC web site and at least five more popular ones around September-October each year. The number of respondents has been increasing every year, up to more than 15,000 for the past two years.
Work on this project has been divided into three stages. The first stage involves the deliberation and selection of which data, statistics, and indicators should be collected, in order to benefit monitoring and assessment as stipulated in the ICT Master Plan. The second phase involves the collection of current national data and statistics about ICT, while the third phase involves studies of approaches to the collection of data and statistics as yet unavailable.
In the new era of information society, it is information that is the mostimportant factor
of production and wealth creation. How well an individual, an organization, and an entire
society can harness, access, share, and make use of available information will ultimately
decide their ability to generate economic growth and to enhance the quality-of-life for all.
This is a book on the novel applications of Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs) for development. It describes eighteen selected projects in
Thailand that address the issue of poverty reduction. The selected projects are
those with clear objectives and methodology to solve the primary problems of
the countries: poverty and sustainable development. These projects are neither
the largest nor the most sophisticated ICT investment of the country.
Thailand has prepared for its transformation into a knowledge-based economy through its Five-Year ICT Master Plan and serveral other major ICT development programmes.
For decades, advances in information technology
have enhanced lives and economies
around the world. Attempting to ride this
wave,Thailand has worked since the late
1980s to develop a nationwide IT infrastructure
that could serve government and the private sector.
In 2002, dissatisfied with the limited success of
earlier efforts, Thailand’s current government
established the Ministry of Information and
Communication Technology
(ICT), charged with developing
and supporting completely
electronic processes
for government, commerce,
industry, and education.The
new ICT policies aim to bring
IT to bear on every aspect of
Thai society and, ultimately,
transform the economy.
