Nepals Status:
Internet governance affects the overall internet ecosystem. If there is good
governance that is managed by proper coordination among the different
stakeholders better goals can be set and achieved.
With various critical issues such as open, access, freedom of expression, innovation
and new applications, commerce, development, and security gradually acing up the
industry Nepals technological upfront looks weak in every prospect of
infrastructure, law/policies and development which cannot be underlined.
As of mid-June 2014, there were 8.68 million internet users in Nepal. The market is
led by big two organization Ncell and Nepal Telecom which covers 97 percent of the
customers. The countrys internet penetration rate had reached 38.78 percent
(March 2015) of the total population of 26.49 million. The penetration rate was
25.82 percent a year ago. Bandwidth use has soared with the rising popularity of
social networking sites, email and internet video. Facebook, YouTube and Google are
the top three websites visited by Nepali internet users.
Digital Development has set new goals, regarding affordability and accessibility of
broadband for countries in order to accelerate the progress of the Millennium
Development Goals. These goals will materialize if there is fair play in the market
place. Around 90 percent of the countrys data customers are mobile GPRS users.
The remaining 10 percent are the users of 3G service, ADSL, optical fibre, cable
modem, EDVO, CDMA 1X, dial up and WiMax services.
Nepal Internet Governance Forum 2015
The Nepal Internet Governance Forum (Nepal IGF 2015) would be a platform where
all Internet stakeholders are openly invited with no reservation to discuss
operational, technical, commercial, and administrative aspects of managing Internet
growth.
It is a right of every individual country to search and look for options and to make
their voices heard in regards to their problems and best practice that can further
help improve the internet. Nepal being a part of the global Internet network needs
to have its position clear regarding its standards and internet government issues.
Apart from that due to its strategic location, it further needs to work on its various
aspect of management and operation of its IG issues.
Due to lack of standardization and better policy mechanism Nepal is more
vulnerable to harsh external effects of technology and development.
