 An Integrated ICT-led Socio-Economic Development Policy and Plan for Rwanda 2001 - 2005 : Infrastructure Development
The Government as part of its strategy and commitment to increasing access to telecommunication facilities; facilitating the rehabilitation and strengthening of telecommunication and communication facilities, is also committed to liberalizing the telecommunications and communications sector to encourage investment and competition in the sector.

Another possible risk factor relates to the possibility of Rwanda failing to attract substantial quality investment into the development of the ICT infrastructure after the Government have done all that it can in liberalizing the communication sector and providing costly (in terms of ‘revenue-forgone’) tax incentives and packages to attract investors.
