Anguilla ICT Profile

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.
STRATEGIC PLAN

Anguilla has identified priorities in a document (ICT Strategic Plan) entitled: Strategic framework for an information economy for Anguilla with ten strategic objectives, intended to "ensure that the lives, work and well-being of all Anguillians are enriched, jobs are created and the natural wealth is enhanced, through the participation of all Anguillians in the growing information economy."
