It is recommended that the Commonwealth Governments look into their national domain name registration service to encourage both international and domestic customers by allowing participation by the private sector to enhance electronic commerce. It is recommended that the Commonwealth Governments strive to improve tele -density, a vital ingredient of electronic commerce by improving access to telecom infrastructure. In this regard, it is recommended that a detailed study be carried out to look into various technological options such as television broadcasting, cellular telephony, V-Sat terminals, and conventional telephony and cable television networks to enhance access.
Electronic commerce is a by-product of literacy.
While it may be impractical to achieve 100 per cent literacy even within a reasonable period, it is recommended that the Commonwealth Governments should focus on that aspect of literacy that is essential for E-commerce, namely, basic computer skills required to access trade on the net. It is recommended that the governments commission a study to research how computers can be introduced into classrooms at an early stage of education. An allocation of a modest one per cent of revenue can dramatically alter the trade and provide enhanced return in the short term as a result of increased business activity. It is recommended that the Commonwealth Governments encourage creation of co-operatives on the Internet to share websites, databases and costs to enable increased participation by micro and small enterprises that are the engines of growth. It is recommended that the Commonwealth Governments participate actively in the deliberations of the World Trade Organisation's initiative in Electronic Commerce to take advantage of the headstart afforded by it.
