IN my view, digital economy is not just for people living in cities and towns but also for those in rural and remote areas. The most critical enabler is the availability of high-speed broadband, which needs to ride on the fibre-optic network.
At the same time, we need to operationalise the full meaning of broadband access not just for consumers but also for suppliers. Anyone in the world should be able to reach web servers located in any premises, whether in cities or villages, through which products can be advertised and offered for sale.
