It includes computers, routers and devices such as mobile telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs) and global positioning systems (GPS). Wireless technology is credited with having a range of advantages: low cost for setting up and maintenance, its suitability for use in rural
areas, speed in deployment, cost-effectiveness in rural areas where population density is low, suitability for &amp;quot;last mile&amp;quot; services, suitability for low-teledensity situations (where there are few fixed-line connections), mobility of service, suitability for small-scale and community use and flexibility in use.

The summit process lasted for four years overall (2001 to 2005) and included a series of regional preparatory meetings – with all sectors represented – and global preparatory commissions led by governments. It produced four documents setting out aspirations for the information society (the Declaration of Principles and Plan of Action from Geneva and the Tunis Commitment and Tunis Agenda). APC was active in WSIS and supported the interventions of civil society organisations in the summit process, making a material difference to the outcomes of WSIS by enriching the debate thanks to civil society’s specific expertise and experience in ICTs.

ICTs can be grouped into three categories. Information technology uses computers, which have become indispensable in modern societies to process data and save time and effort. Telecommunications technologies include telephones (with fax) and the broadcasting of radio and television, often through satellites. Networking technologies, of which the best known is the internet, also extend to mobile phone technology, voice over IP telephony (VoIP), satellite communications, and other forms of communication that are still in their infancy. 

Style information: APC uses all small case for this term. We NEVER write &amp;quot;Information and Communication Technologies&amp;quot;.

Optical fibre cable is used by many telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, internet communication, and cable television signals, sometimes all on the same optical fibre. It permits digital data transmission over longer distances and at higher data rates than other forms of wired and wireless communications.

Evaluation is the systematic and objective assessment of an on-going or completed project, programme or policy, its design, implementation and results. The aim is to determine the relevance and fulfilment of objectives, development efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability. Evaluations can be conducted internally, externally by independent consultants, or as a joint internal/external partnership.

 <title>African blogs on ICT for development</title>
 <link>http://www.apc.org/en/pubs/research/development/africa/african-blogs-ict-development</link>
 <description> 	&lt;p&gt;As part of its research activities, &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;APC&lt;/span&gt; has compiled a list of African &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;&lt;a class=&quot;glossary-term&quot; href=&quot;/en/taxonomy/term/259&quot;&gt;&lt;acronym title=&quot;information and communication technology: Technology and tools that people use to share, distribute, gather information and to communicate with one another, one on one, or in groups. ICTs can be grouped into three categories. Information technology uses computers, which have become indispensable in modern societies to process data and save time and effort. Telecommunications technologies include telephones (with fax) and the broadcasting of radio and television, often through satellites. Networking technologies, of which the best known is the internet, also extend to mobile phone technology, voice over IP telephony (VoIP), satellite communications, and other forms of communication that are still in their infancy. 

Style information: APC uses all small case for this term. We NEVER write &amp;quot;Information and Communication Technologies&amp;quot;. Note that there is the option of using this term in the singular (information and communication technology, abbreviated as ICT) or plural (information and communication technologies, abbreviated as ICTs).
