4.  Critical Infrastructure Protection: Critical 

information infrastructure requires robust security 

in order to protect them against malicious attacks. 

There should be complete oversight and control 

to prevent the occurrence of such issues. The reg-

ulations should ensure compatibility and privacy 

concerns are mitigated. One of the key challenges 

experienced in relation to infrastructure is van-

dalism of mobile phone towers, especially in the 

rural and remote areas. Regulation that issues high 

penalties for vandalism as a deterrent is required.  

Majority of the costs in relation to access of infra-

structure, rights of way and licenses for deploy-

ment at the local and municipal level are usually 

deemed as excessive. These local and municipal 

Policies should be implemented to ensure that fees 

are lowered and are made reasonable in order to 

drive innovation and growth.
