Network Learning
-
Educate the majority of the population
in poverty levels to fight the high illiteracy rate
-
One proposed solution is in providing
“Free” Internet as the unequal distribution of wealth provides
access to internet only to a few privileged.
-
To
improve its learning infrastructure

Network Economy
-
Business
and Government agencies should offer better salaries to the ICT work
force. This would not only help the company/government agency to
retain qualified ICT personnel and improve their business but will
discourage ICT work force from moving out of the country.
-
Companies
and Government agencies that still don’t offer on-line retail
services (the majority) should start doing so and the ones that are
already offering this service should encourage their customers to
use them. During our research we found that a lot of large companies
are moving into B2C Electronic Commerce but most of them offer only
good information most purchases are done in person.
-
The
government should subsidize or offer loans to the small and medium
companies that are still not economically ready to implement
computer systems not to mention moving on-line.
-
Companies
should move away from paper transactions.
