E-BUSINESS OBJECTIVES E-BUSINESS OBJECTIVES
Many Citizens especially from under serviced areas do not have access to and / or the ability to access Government and other sector information
- n-line services through the use of ICT.
The South African Post Office has initiated a number of programmes some in partnership with Department Of Communications with regard to ICT infrastructure. The idea is to create a digital communication infrastructure especially targeting previously disadvantaged areas. Information is useless if those who need it cannot access it – Access for All.
