Lithuania reminds its efforts
for moving the country from a planned economy towards a market economy. The
reforms taken opened new possibilities for Lithuania and, in a relatively
short time, the State moved forward significantly. ITC production has
increased by 40 percent within the period of 2000-2002. In 2002 the number
of computers available per 100 pupils has increased by 60 percent. In the
first half of 2003, 24 percent of Lithuania’ s population aged 15 to 74 were
using the Internet. Lithuania wants to provide equal access to information
sources and to encourage cooperation among business and public institutions.
