Synopsis
Singapore is proud of the way it has embraced the Internet. It has built a broadly based Internet awareness through the early adoption of a range of innovative data technologies and platforms. This report looks at some of the public data communications services that have been put in place. The report also looks at how Singapore has, with the help of a favourable regulatory regime, been working to influence the direction the world is taking in going online. While the rate of development of e-commerce has been conspicuously erratic over the last few years, Singapore continues to systematically promote the ever wider application of Internet within the community.
