GCI:Mapping country’s transformation into a digital economy
Traditional Economy Digital Economy
The GCI provides a comprehensive and objective assessment of a country’s connectivity from both a national and business perspective,
and assesses the current status, future trends, and challenges associated with digital transformation. It quantifies the value that
connectivity generates for a country’s transformation into a digital economy, and serves as a reference for regional and national policy
makers.

Imperatives for Digital Transformation Planning
ICT Infrastructure
ICT Policy
ICT Talent
Governments: Continuously enhance investment in digital
infrastructure, especially the expansion of broadband coverage, and
the adoption of cloud technology to ensure fair competition and
inclusive growth in their own economies throughout the global
digitization process
Governments: Develop National Broadband Strategy or ICT White papers
to formulate and realize national strategy, unlock digital potential and cover
the gap in digital access between cities and rural area.
Simultaneously support demand services (e-government, e-health, e-
education) and supply (availability of the network and data services)
Decrease taxation for ICT industry and instead provide more obligations to
operators regarding network coverage and performance
Governments: Work with scholars, technology providers, as well as
education and labor departments to ensure that digital resources are
more widely and readily accessible. Improve the digital knowhow of
specific subsets of the workforce, and cultivate a group of
exceptional talent that is well positioned to meet future needs
Summary:
• Developing ICT is not a target, it is a tool.
• Investment in ICT development is the most effective way to develop digital national
economy.
• Operators are not “cash cows”, they are “Enablers” for digital transformation.
• Don’t “kill” ICT industry by taxes, instead stimulate network access development
• Building 4G (LTE) coverage the most effective way to develop national broadband
coverage for developing countries
• Active role of government is crucial for successful ICT development
• Huawei GCI methodology can help for developing National Broadband Strategy or
ICT White Papers
