In line with its mandate, the Telecom and IT Board is planning to meet with Internet Shop Owners, Managers or thier representatives ON-LINE where we believe it will be most convenient for all parties involved. Initial meetings will be by way of exchange of email messages and later, if need arises to act swiftly on pressing issues, a real-time on-line meeting, most probably by using Yahoo Messenger. The Telecom Board had been using this system and found it to be most convenient and productive.

Initial discussions will focus on the cooperative efforts between the City Government and the Internet shop owners on how to address various issues besetting our city in general and Internet business in particular.

In this regard, may we request your e-mail address, contact numbers and name of official representatives for our On-line meetings and other related activities that may come in the future.

It is hoped that this will merit your positive response and the start of our constant communication to further the advancement of IT in our city.

If there are concerns you wish to be included in our discussion, we would be most honored to receive it in the following email address:
