Abstract

The paper provides a strategic impact analysis of communications technology on a nations´ global competitiveness. Global competitiveness and its definition is described, along with communications architectures, technologies and economics that have a direct impact on national competitiveness. It is shown that enhancing the communications needs of business workers can fundamentally shift the global competitive position of a nation. The technologies and architectures required to enable the satisfaction of these communications needs are analyzed. Technology and architectural evolution required to provide a business worker oriented service offering from PTTs and communications service providers is also presented.
