Introduction of ICT Projects

June 2003

Japan Telecommunications Engineering and Consulting Service （ JTEC ）

Objectives of My Presentation

JTEC conducted the following consulting services: Feasibility Study of the Internet for Community (IFC) Project in Vietnam Multi-Purpose Community Tele-Center (MCT) Experimental Test in Cambodia Master Plan Study for the Development of a Rural Telecommunications System in Mongolia

The concepts of these projects can be adopted in many countries.

1. Feasibility Study of the Internet for Community (IFC) Project in Vietnam

Countries with advancedtelecommunications infrastructures

Countries with inadequate telecommunications infrastructures

Building a network by using leased lines

Leased Lines

Leased lines are used

Building a network by using Internet Service Provider (ISP) services

ＩＳＰ

Building exclusive networks by using satellite communications

- Access points are few- Speed is low- Security is inadequate

- Service area is limited- Speed is low

Network Costs for IT Applications are High（ For Tele-Education System, E-Government System, etc. ）

Expensive!

Very expensive!

- Tele-Medicine System - Disaster Control System- Environment Monitoring System- Etc.

IFC Network

Integration of Individual Networks Within the IFC Network

Cultural Centers

- Upgrading Cultural Centers as Multi-Purpose Community Tele-Centers- Providing health care, educational and governmental information to local residents and redressing regional differences- Bridging digital-divide by providing Internet access where commercial Internet cafés are not feasible

Now:- Co-located in post offices (providing post services and public telephone access)- Reading books and newspapers: free of charge

Plan:

IFC Training Center

Developing ICT core engineers at the IFC Data Center through on-the-job training basis (operations and maintenance work).

Developing a large number of ICT engineers efficiently and quickly by utilizing the tele-education system that consists of the IFC Training Center and the IFC Network.

2. Master Plan Study for the Development of a Rural Telecommunications System in Mongolia

Master Plan Study for the Development of a Rural Telecommunications System in Mongolia

This Master Plan Study was carried out by JTEC under the sponsorship of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

1. Objectives of the Study To formulate a master plan for the rural telecommunications system up to the year 2020To pursue technology transfers to counterpart personnel in the course of the study

2. Overview of Mongolia Population: 2,690,000 Per capita GDP: US $436 (2001) Telephone penetration ratio: 4.71 % (whole country) 0.74 % (rural areas)

3. Multi-Purpose Community Tele-Center (MCT) Experimental Test in Cambodia

Multi-Purpose Community Tele-Center (MCT) Experimental Test in Cambodia

1. Purpose of Experimental Test Establishment of model system Collecting data Collecting general information on public telephones, Internet cafés, etc.

Monitoring MCT users Interviewing residents around MCT

2. Experimental Test Term February 1, 2003 - March 31, 2003

This experimental test was being carried out by JTEC under the sponsorship of Japan’s Ministry of Public Management, General Affairs, Posts and Telecommunications.

3. Location Svay Ming Village, Barku Commune, Kandal Province, Cambodia (20 km from Phnom Penh)

4. Overview of Barku Commune Population: 4,500 Commercial power penetration ratio: less than 10 % Telephone penetration ratio: 0 (Cellular phone penetration ratio for shops is approximately 50 %) Motorbike penetration ratio: 80 % Average monthly income per household: less than US $50 (90 %)
