ICT infrastructure. Starting points and characteristics The development of ICT infrastructure represents a major factor for the competitiveness of businesses and the development of innovation potential in the Czech Republic in all areas, and also for the modern and efficient functioning of public administration. Correct and efficient use of ICT significantly contributes to the increase in gross domestic product and leads to the productivity growth of economy as a whole. A highly positive aspect of investment into ICT infrastructure is its ability to enhance economic growth but with respect to budget impacts it requires good fiscal strategy (see CSR 2014 No 1). In the future, the differences between the performance of countries and regions will be more given by the scope of investment into ICT, ICT research and using ICT products and services. An essential prerequisite for using ICT and achieving results is the existence of a sufficiently developed and available technology base, i.e. in particular, an adequate infrastructure enabling a broadband internet access. The Czech Republic is not sufficiently covered and it lags behind in other parameters too, such as speed, capacity and safety. This limits citizens57, businesses and government institutions as regards their access to information and mutual communication. ICT issues are significantly linked to the problem area of Research and Innovation System. In the long run, the Czech Republic is trying to come closer to the West European trend of the development of ICT services and sharing. In addition to creating a system for sharing, a key part of the ICT infrastructure is also the creation of data storages, digitalisation of key processes and supporting agendas in state administrative activities. The issue of digitalisation of public administration agenda that enables access to public services via the internet is discussed in the problem area Public Administration. Digital literacy of the population and the varying degree of literacy for different groups represents an essential precondition for using ICT in normal life, when looking for jobs, achieving innovations and a greater competitiveness. There is a strong link to the problem area Education, both with regard to initial education and with regard to the fast development in the area of ICT, in particular lifelong learning. ICT has also high potential to become an 57According to the data stated in the strategy State Policy for Electronic Communications - Digital Czech, in 2010 inhabitants of 10.1% municipalities had no broadband internet access, inhabitants of 20.4% municipalities had access to the broadband internet through one provider only and the inhabitants of 69.5% municipalities had a broadband internet access provided by more than one provider. efficient tool when fighting social exclusion. With regard to the age structure of the population, the older generation uses technology and information technology far less. On the whole, however, ICT has been growing steadily. Regional differences Rural areas and some of the urban agglomerations have been fighting with the need to upgrade the capacity of networks. In terms of households with internet connections, most such households are in Prague and in the region of Central Bohemia, and in regional towns, except for the Regions of Karlovy Vary and Ústí nad Labem. From a regional perspective, the use of information technology (internet at home) is balanced within the Czech Republic, but still below average when compared with the EU. The support will be aimed at: white areas in the territory coverage with high-speed internet (without a provider), exceptionally grey areas (with 1 operator in the territory), the Czech Telecommunications Office - A Study Mapping the Infrastructure for providing high- speed internet access in the Czech Republic Experience from the 2007–2013 programming period and the state of achievement of objectives
