Persad-Bissessar said the mobile market is just a small part of plans by Government to improve and enhance competitiveness in the ICT sector.
She noted that the development of ICT is essential to the overall development of the country.
"The Government of Trinidad and Tobago also recognises the need to work collaboratively in order to improve the local ICT sector and so this is why I view the work of the CTO and its membership therein, as being very important to my country's development.
"Trinidad and Tobago holds firmly onto the position that it is only through discussion at international level that ICT issues which affect developing countries regionally and internationally can be fully addressed."
The Prime Minister said her Government wants to make ICTs more accessible to the population through the development of broadband infrastructure and services.
