Where Creativity Meets Innovation 		THE GOVERNMENT is planning to roll out an ambitious information communication platform aimed at significantly reducing the amount of money the State now pays for telephone calls.

Daryl Vaz, the minister without portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister who has responsibility for information, told Parliament yesterday that the move will save the country hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Currently, the telephone bills for Government are approximately $2 billion per year. Sixty per cent of the Government's telephony costs are made to itself," Vaz said.

Danville Walker, the chairman of the Central Information Tech-nology Office board, which has been charged with the imple-mentation, told The Gleaner last night that he hoped the ICT platform would be gradually installed.

Walker also said that when fully implemented, it could save taxpayers up to 60 per cent of current telephone cost.
