ANGUILLA ICT PROFILE
| POLICY STATEMENTS
Anguilla's 2005 Budget Statement indicated that the island was “poised to effect significant diversification of our economy with the liberalization of telecommunications; strengthening the institutional and technological platform for our international financial and business services sector; with development of a policy framework for e-commerce and ICT based businesses". The high cost of telecommunications and the continuing existence of a monopoly and the absence of the requisite bandwidth and capacity are identified as the major constraints to the development of the financial services sector. |
