An operational test on the system using Internet as a backbone will be carried out in 1997.

What was lacking, however, was funding for infrastructure and operating costs, such as communications, technology and travel.

A variety of alternative arrangements for infrastructure development has evolved, ranging from transactions where the infrastructure is built and operated by private entities for an agreed period, but is eventually transferred to the Government, to situations where the infrastructure is privately owned and operated.

Attention should also be given to cases where the host Government might decide to keep the infrastructure permanently under operation by private sector entities

Incorporating needed infrastructural developments into projects and encouraging the private sector to invest in building and operating these infrastructural facilities would play a significant role in this domain.

Depending on whether the private sector will own such infrastructure facility, those arrangements are called either refurbish operate transfer (ROT) or modernize operate transfer (MOT), in the first case or refurbish own operate (ROO) or modernize own operate (MOO) in the latter case.

This will enable ports, transport operators and governments to use the existing infrastructure and transport capacities more efficiently, reduce delays and lower costs.

Furthermore, since the project is built and, during the concession period, operated by the project company, the country benefits from private sector expertise in operating and managing the relevant infrastructure facility.

Furthermore, since those projects were built and, during the concession period, operated by the project company, the country benefited from private sector expertise in operating and managing the relevant infrastructure facility.

During that phase the project company undertakes to operate and maintain the infrastructure facility and to collect revenue from the users.

Another Group within the Private Sector Development Department, i.e. the Private Participation in Infrastructure Group, covers issues of private participation in infrastructure (communication, energy, transport, water and sanitation), providing advice on market structure and competition, infrastructure regulation, privatization and concession type schemes, and concession award and project finance.

In the case of privately financed infrastructure projects, however, the remuneration was spread out over a number of years and usually derived from the operation of the infrastructure, generally in the form of fees charged to the user.

On that basis, we can start working.

The regional commissions will work closely with private Internet and network operators in the individual host countries to determine the sustainability, costs and optimal modes of operation (public, private or mixed) of ICT based rural networks for rural communities.

(b) Resource mobilization and issues related to the development and maintenance of transport infrastructures, including development financing issues and private sector participation

In a typical build operate transfer project, the infrastructure facility is normally transferred to the host Government at the end of the concession period.

A similar arrangement is the design build finance operate (DBFO) modality, which also entails ownership of the infrastructure facility by the private sector, and in which the private sector assumes the additional responsibility for the design of the facility.

In some projects, such as the build transfer operate (BTO) projects, it is expressly provided that the infrastructure facility becomes the property of the host Government immediately upon its completion, the project company being awarded the right to operate the facility for a certain period.
