B. Existing ICT Infrastructure<br />
The quality of SJER’s ICT infrastructure is relatively poor in comparison<br />
with the existing infrastructure at the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC).<br />
Johor (in addition to Penang) is targeted to have a comparable quality<br />
of infrastructure by 2010 under the second phase of the MSC national<br />
roll out plan. This should help to drive adoption of high speed internet<br />
access, or broadband.<br />
C. Personal Computer Ownership<br />
The number of personal computers in SJER in 2003 stood at 305,227,<br />
which implies a penetration of 24.4% of the total population of SJER. This<br />
is expected to increase to 775,415 by the year 2025.<br />

The level of ICT adoption in SJER can be measured through three<br />
different indicators, which are the ownership of personal computers,<br />
the rate of Internet access and also the level of IT literacy.<br />
