Information and Communications Technology Industry: Spring 2007 Industry Study

Abstract

The Information & Communications Technology (ICT) industry provides enabling capability for all major industries. The US ICT industry leads the world but must overcome several near-term challenges if it hopes to retain its global leadership. Some of the key challenges include reforming H1-B visa allocations to maintain a strong US-based IT workforce, monitoring the on-going convergence of telephony, data, and video services, resolving the debate over Internet neutrality, and supporting the full implementation of the National Critical Infrastructure Protection Plan. This research paper suggests roles for the global community, the US government and US business to address these and other concerns. Lastly, a growing industry constituency is fostering a paradigm shift to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) which fundamentally alters delivery of ICT capability to end users.
