In order to facilitate the digitization of government information, the MIC will be setting up index databases of all government documents to be available on the Internet or text based BBS services by 2002. The Ministry will be encouraging all public institutions and government ministries and departments to open homepages on the Internet. These public institutions and government ministries and departments will be obligated to disclose such information to the general public as policy reports, public announcements, and legal information on their homepages.
