Connect all businesses with ICTs
Since 2003, the application of ICT to business has evolved in unexpected ways, and e-business has grown exponentially. The use of ICT in the business sector has become vital to developing the information society. Despite this fact, the WSIS Geneva Plan of Action does not have any targets related to ICT and businesses. On the other hand, the use of ICTs by businesses is addressed in WSIS Action Line C7 (ICT applications: benefits in all aspects of life), which discusses the importance of businesses as providers and users of ICT and “calls upon governments to promote the use of ebusiness, especially in developing countries” (ITU, 2005).
