Chapter 5 - Infrastructure
5-5 Telecom and Internet
There is dangerous assymetry in government and governance. Bad governance will always result in bad performance, but good governance on its own does not assure good performance. Many other elements are needed in order to have an effective enabling environment.
Communications
Telecom
In general terms, the telecommunications infrastructure in the global “south” is poor.
Haiti should embrace the idea of very low cost communications as a way to encourage development, but Haiti has not yet embraced the telecom sector in this way.
Internet
An Internet infrastructure can be built in coordination with the telecom ... the underlying Internet backbone uses much that in common.
