"A country's information
infrastructure -telecommunications, information technology, and
broadcasting- is an
essential component of political, economic, social and cultural development. The
information infrastructure development needs in the Americas are immense. The governments
of the Americas intend to meet these needs by engaging in multiple actions, where
consistent with their respective governing laws, such as: encouraging private sector
investment to increase participation in the telecommunications and information
infrastructure sectors; promoting competition; implementing flexible regulatory regimes;
stimulating diversity of content, including cultural and linguistic diversity; providing
access to information networks for service and information providers; and ensuring
universal service, so that the benefits of the information infrastructure will be
available to all members of our societies."
