Global Scenario
The picture on digital divide is quite worrying. Statistical data shows that 51 out of the world’s top 100 economies are companies (as opposed to nation states); or about 80 per cent of the world’s population has never made a telephone call, let alone accessed the Internet (World Research Institute); or that nearly three billion people live on less than US$2 (RM7.60) a day – they definitely cannot afford even the lowest end PCs. Such is the extent of gap between the rich (information haves) and the poor (information have-nots).Unfortunately, the proceedings did not go beyond expressions of concern. Apart from generic calls for ICT companies and great economies to do more for the community or humanitarian causes, no solution to the identified problems were proposed.
Malaysia’s Scenario
In terms of distribution of PCs in the urban and rural areas, the concentration is in the urban areas, primarily Selangor, Federal Territories and Penang which contribute to more than 65 percent of computer density in Malaysia. In the meantime, the rate of PC penetration per household is still very low, ie. at 5 percent.
As for Internet access, the 1998 statistics showed Internet penetration at 6 percent for every 100 population and 11.9 percent for every household. While Malaysia recorded a growth rate of 182 percent in Internet subscription, once again growth concentration is more on the Klang Valley area, Selangor and major towns in the country.
These statistics clearly shows the overwhelming difference of PC and internet availability between the urban and rural areas.
Among the most important step to bridge the digital divide are to create awareness among the rural population and to provide the infrastructure to the rural areas. Efforts have already been carried out by the Malaysian government and the private sectors especially in providing infrastructure. To boost the development, a few awareness campaigns through internet and other medium have been launched.
Our latest effort in creating IT awareness is an integrated campaign through a bimonthly bulletin, a web portal and a video commercial/montage promoting IT to the rural population.
BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE INITIATIVES
Digital divide is quite apparent in the ICT sector. There exists a gap between the information rich and the information poor among various groups in Malaysia. Coincidently, the pattern is that the former is located in urban areas whilst the latter in rural, as similar scenario as in the case of poverty. To correct the digital imbalance, the Ministry of Electricity Water and Communication (MEWC) and its predecessor ministry, the Ministry of Electricity, Communication and Multimedia (MECM), have embarked on numerous digital inclusion initiatives aimed at fulfilling the national objective of ensuring equitable provision of affordable ICT services over ubiquitous national infrastructure as set out by the Communication Multimedia Act 1998.
Connectivity to the internet in rural areas was addressed through initiatives that include the Ministry’s Rural Internet Centres (RIC) programme and the Universal Service Provision (USP). Launched on 3 April 2000, the RIC programme was one of the earliest rural internet initiatives launched in Malaysia. The programme was developed as a holistic approach to establishing internet access in rural areas by addressing infrastructure needs, capacity building as well as content development.
Under the RIC programme, private sector operators funded by the government provide computer equipment and internet connectivity while the site, security and electricity are provided by local post offices. Training is also provided to the RIC supervisor and its users as part of the package. A local committee of volunteers is also tasked with the development of a local website that would showcase community products and services as well as provide content relevant to the local community. In the first phase of the project, RICs were deployed in post offices in semi-rural areas that were within reach of a TM Net DSL or ISDN enabled exchange.
To date, 42 RICs throughout the country have been equipped with five to six PCs connected to the Internet via ADSL or ISDN. Statistics compiled in July 2004 indicate that more than 53,000 users use RIC services while more than 35,000 users have undergone training under one of the RIC training programmes since its implementation.
Similar to the RIC, the Ministry of Rural and Regional Development has also implemented the Infodesa programme to infuse the ICT culture amongst the rural population.
Universal Service Provision (USP) is one of the significant initiatives to bridging the digital divide and re-emphasizes the policy of providing basic communications services to every citizen. Realizing the fact that the responsibility cannot be left solely to the industry players, the Government has approved an allocation of RM293.4 million under the Eight Plan to provide the necessary resources to connect rural schools, rural clinics and rural libraries. By the end of 2003, 220 schools in Sabah and Sarawak are connected with the necessary communications infrastructure using Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) technology. More than 44,000 students, 3,300 teachers and 22,000 residents in the vicinity of the schools enjoy basic communications facility and internet access.
In addition, by the end of 2004, 376 rural libraries and 350 rural clinics nation wide are also connected using VSAT and Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) technology. The programme benefited more than 352 rural libraries supervisors, 1,120 rural clinics staff and 115,200 residents
The Communication and Multimedia Commission implemented the USP programme from the industry funds. The programme which came into effect in October 2002, was initiated with remarkable speed. Pilot projects deploying telecommunications services to multiple sites in the three district of Yan in Kedah, Kinabatangan in Sabah and Julau in Sarawak were successfully completed in 2003. This was followed by the deployment of basic telecommunications services to a further 86 districts in 2004 in two groups. RM688 million was allocated to Capex and RM258 million to Opex for the 86 districts. This works out to a Capex allocation of RM8 million and an annual Opex allocation RM3 million for each district.
In cooperation with the Ministry of Education the MEWC launched a project called SchoolNet in February 2004. By leveraging on existing initiatives such as Smart Schools and phase one of the MEWC USP project, the SchoolNet project provided broadband access to ore than 10,000 schools nationwide, focusing particularly on schools in rural and remote areas, by end of 2004. While SchoolNet concentrated on the carriage and distribution of education content and serve as a school-wide Intranet, the infrastructure that was deployed for the project was also intended to serve as a springboard for an eventual wider rollout to the community. The SchoolNet network was envisaged as a fully managed national network that would exploit current excess capacity in the national backbone.
Further strategies to bridge the digital divide include programs in widening access to ICT infrastructure, provision of affordable facilities and services, enhancing awareness and education through continuous learning to the various target groups, and the promotion of local content development.

MERAPATKAN JURANG DIGITAL
Fokus utama bagi merapatkan jurang digital adalah melalui dua elemen penting yang akan memperkasa komuniti dan penjanaan ilmu iaitu jurang teknologi dan jurang minda:Fokus utama bagi merapatkan jurang digital adalah melalui dua elemen penting yang akan memperkasa komuniti dan penjanaan ilmu iaitu jurang teknologi dan jurang minda:-->Jurang teknologi – menyediakan infrastruktur komunikasi melalui pelbagai teknologi yang kos efektif dan boleh dicapai.
Jurang minda – bagi merapatkan jurang minda, masyarakat di kawasan luarbandar/pedalaman perlu diberi latihan dan kemahiran ICT (celik IT) melalui program kesedaran (awareness), penglibatan (commitment), penggunaan (utilization) dan memperkasa komuniti (empowerment). Kandungan tempatan (local content) dan pelbagai aplikasi yang dapat memberi manfaat dan ilmu kepada masyarakat di kawasan luar akan terus di pertingkatkan.
