Minister with Responsibility for Information, Telecommunications and Special Projects, Hon. Daryl Vaz, has informed that the Government is focusing on the rollout of a broadband backbone in the short-term, which will ensure adequate connectivity throughout the island.

The move, he said, is in keeping with the Vision 2030 National Development Plan, which designates information and communications technology (ICT) as a priority area for development as a major industry and an enabler for all other sectors.

"This is a critical strategy for becoming efficient, effective and more productive in the private and public sectors as well as for increasing our international competitiveness," Minister Vaz stated.
