The second part focuses on the relationship between the age and the nature of technology a certain user finds best to use. In other words, video games might be preferred by a 6-year-old child and a teenager might more likely opt for social channels through a cell phone rather than a personal computer or a laptop. The third part is mainly to measure how interactive are the users and the individuals in regard to the eGovernment services as well as to know their impression on the Internet services in the Sultanate. The survey form has been designed as per the international standards of basic information and communications technology indicators issued by the global partnership on measuring ICT for development. It is worth to note that the ITA implements this survey for the first time in the Sultanate benefiting from international and regional experiences in this regard.
Results of the survey will be extremely important to the eGovernment services provided to citizens and residents in the Sultanate, and will contribute to the decision-making process and strategies related to ICT in the Sultanate. The results also provide an additional insight of necessary statistics for the purpose of international comparisons. The ITA extended its appreciation to all co-operating households and individuals for their support to ensure an accurate data survey. The ITA also informed that the survey team would have ID cards as well as an official ITA letter for all participating families and individuals. There are also 100 tablet devices for the participants selected through a random draw at the end of the survey.
