1 Indicators and broadband tenders are in focus Szilvia Botos, University of Debrecen

2 Briefly about the issue Targets of ICT developments About the research and data analysis The role of the indicators Review of Hungarian broadband situation ICT situation of Hungarian regions(usage, readiness) Conclusions and future areas of research Agricultural Informatics 2012

3 Targets of tenders Investment stimulation Development of SMEs Activities Tenders (ECOP and EDOP programmes) for developing the competitiveness of different economic sectors Development of business infrastructure Development of technological readiness of SMEs Help them to use these devices efficiency Development of information society and economy Development of e-economy, stimulate of e- commerce Expanding the broadband infrastructure Development of digital contents Development of e-administration of local governments Agricultural Informatics 2012

7 ECOP between 2004 and 2006 for local governments. The aim of the project was to develop those areas, which were less attractive in a business point of view. To attain these goals we spent 42,5 million Euro. ECOP for telecommunications companies. The support amount was more than 8 million Euro. EDOP was in 2007 and the overall amount of support was 12 million Euro. Currently firms and companies may submit tenders for EDOP , which aim is to build up broadband backhaul network in those areas, which don t have optical network connect yet.

8 After these projects the developing will continue (partly EU sources), because one of the strategic objectives of EU and Hungary also to increase broadband penetration Only some years ago the analysis of penetration was focused on who had an internet connection and who did not. Now, there are a lot of indicators which very important for analysing the ICT situation. Agricultural Informatics 2012

13 Developments are required, but the efficiency of use of financial resources is also important. My aim is to prepare an index for supporting the selection of targets (the field of use of financial resources), which can be applied on regional and settlement level. The rank can help to realize targeted developing and improving of infrastructure, furthermore this enables to intervene on that place which is bottleneck. Developments are worth to implement where the return and the positive socioeconomic impacts expected as soon as possible. The final result probably a regional indicator, which by determining of broadband situation of regions and settlements would be easier. We can be identified those areas which show gaps before the building up of infrastructure. About the structure of the index the backwardness can be identified in two ways. which the stakeholder group shows the largest gap the objective areas also can be determined.

14 In order to achieve a better level of usage, ranking the development areas is important. Which projects a given region or settlement requires. A rank can be defined among regions or settlements by on the basis of the indicator, in respect of factors related to network infrastructure. The final result probably a regional indicator, which by determining of broadband situation of regions and settlements would be easier. We can be identified those areas which show gaps before the building up of infrastructure. The rank can help to realize targeted developing and improving of infrastructure, furthermore this enables to intervene on that place which is bottleneck. For calculating the index I wouldn t use only those data which measuring directly (e.g. number of accesses and their speed), but I also take account of actually use, capacity utilization, readiness of people, penetration of different e-services. And the characterizations of SMEs also can involve to the calculation. Agricultural Informatics 2012
