Universal Access Best Practices for Governments Examined in New Research Service from Pyramid

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Access to communications services has reached unprecedented levels in all emerging regions. With evidence that the socioeconomic benefits of access to communication and information technology are growing and concrete, policy makers and regulators are taking action to promote development in the sector, according to Sonia Jorge, Practice Leader for Regulation and Policy and Consultant behind Pyramid's new Universal Access to Broadband Insight Pack.

"The ability to provide universal access is within reach but governments must take the lead to drive the factors that will spur ICT development," says Jorge. Governments should take the initiative to promote and fund public-private partnerships, particularly those addressing critical barriers to development. "Providing incentives through the provision of funding to support private sector projects or offering subsidies can help governments stimulate investment and growth in their country," she adds.
