Information technology in Uganda
The internet industry in Uganda has experienced a rapid growth over the years in terms of number of service providers and today there are eleven Internet service providers( ISPs) in Uganda though computers are still expensive in Uganda, there are several Uganda computer companies . The limiting factors to the development is mainly the cost of the computers and lack of the infrastructure which is still limited to the capital Kampala where the operators are guaranteed a steady market due to tourists, entrepreneurs and other interested parties.
While the Uganda Communications Commission, at present, does not place any restriction on the number of ISPs operating in Uganda, it has also not attached any expansion obligations to the ISP licences. It has been left to the operators to determine their area of coverage over Uganda and the expansion pace.
Listing of some of the ISPs in Uganda include
-Infocom-Infomail -swift Global (U) Ltd - Wilken Afsat -Starcom Uganda
Other technology companies in Uganda iclude Bitwowrk technologies
There is also Telemedicine Establishment in Uganda and there are projects for wireless hand held computers for rural ugandan health workers.
