Abstract

ICT sector is growing significantly in Albania, especially Internet deployment. Situation is rapidly changing from 1 year to the other, despite the fact that this country has the lowest telecommunication in Europe. There is a general awareness about the role of ICT between people and government; and as consequence, there are many ICT-related initiatives, especially private in main urban areas. Mobile telephony has a high penetration in urban areas as an alternative solution in conditions of low penetration of fixed telephony. Despite this considerable growth of ICT deployment, there are several critical obstacles to be addressed. Some of them are related to cultural and economical conditions, for example, the problem of electrical energy shortages, especially in rural areas, high poverty and lack of telecommunications infrastructure in remote areas. A realistic view of all the possible factors mentioned above, regarding Albania, need to be analyzed, in order to fulfill the last goal of this work. It is very important to look at the conditions of Albania, in the main indicators that impact the ICT sector and infrastructures for Information Society and then to identify the areas with the greatest impact and what must be improved. So, this section will deal with four main areas:
