Product Description
Product Description
This book is a political economy analysis of the policy and regulatory environment of Internet deployment in Ghana. It identifies three models of Internet deployment in Ghana; private-corporate, social-development, and regional-system provider. Also it addresses key issues regarding the management of the Internet industry by Ghana¿s regulatory body; the National Communications Authority (NCA). It is based on information gathered through interviews and document analysis. I discuss the Internet in Ghana using the concepts of public interest and the social, political and economic issues related to policy making and regulation in telecommunications. I do this discussion with the background of major Ghanaian policy and regulatory documents like the Accelerated Development Program (1994-2000), and the National Telecommunications Policy (NTP). My discussion ends with the proposition that Ghana¿s regulatory body should in the spirit of the theory of convergence in comparative public policy adopt feasible policies and regulations from other economies.
