E-government Architecture and Infrastructure Development Center

The issues related to Public Internet Access Development at the national scale in developing countries are discussed. Such program must have at least four components: infrastructure, public access points, public information network and training to guarantee the utilization of the invested facilities. Necessary conditions for the successful implementation of each component are also investigated. The heart of this development program is the Public Information Network, which becomes a cooperative environment for government agencies, local governments and businesses to provide the information content services to serve the community. Such a large scale program will significantly pave the way to E-government and push the State Administration Management Computerization activities from their stand-still state. Among the numerous valuable on-line services, the program can facilitate a large grid computing infrastructure to improve the national computing power. Thus, a developing country can have equal opportunities to develop the advanced scientific research projects and services, which require high performance and still not affordable computation facilities. 1
