Today, April 18, the director of the public foundation “Civil Initiative on Internet Policy” Tattoo Mambetalieva said in an interview, “WB”, which sank in Kyrgyzstan this year’s Networked Readiness Index for three positions compared to 2012 due to imperfect information and policies regulating the sector and communication technologies (ICT) in the country.
“This index is determined by the totality of the data, and if you ever took as a basis the number of users and the quality of services, the country is now evaluated on the basis of policies regulating the sector as mobile operators and ISPs. Particular attention is paid to the introduction of electronic document. For an index, it is important to how actively the state agencies use the technology and use it at all. And in this respect is very Kyrgyzstan lags behind other countries, “- said the” WB “Mambetalieva.
She also noted that the neighboring Kazakhstan has taken a higher position (43rd place in the index. – Vb.kg) due to the fact that the country has a system of services via the Internet, in addition, state agencies actively use information technologies in their work. “That is why Kazakhstan has taken a high position in the index, while every time we go down. Should be noted that in our country the policy of regulation of mobile operators and the Internet has become much worse, especially in the area of taxation. Example is the law on the introduction of VAT on roaming . Therefore Kyrgyzstan dropped a few notches in the index, despite good growth of Internet users, “- added Mambetalieva.
In addition, she noted that in future Kyrgyzstan can hold lower positions. “For the current government, unlike the previous ones, the ICT sector is not a priority. Indication that the policy on ICT change for the worse is the fact that if before the state agency was therefore an independent regulator, now the powers of the agency trims, and partitioned between ministries and departments, “- said Mambetalieva.
She also explained that, in order to Kyrgyzstan held a high position in the Networked Readiness Index, it is necessary to create a favorable regulatory environment for the business sector and develop a regulatory framework for the provision of services through information technology.
