The Timely Decision for Businesses in Uganda to Adopt Modern Technology in the New World Setting

Uganda’s ICT sector is still developing though internet costs are high. The government imposes high taxes on internet usage and social media data. In July 2018, Uganda's government introduced the "Over-The-Top" (OTT) tax on daily social media usage (Kiberu, 2018). The government intended to limit people from using social media platforms to malice and black mail its operations which by then were becoming rampant vices. Since then, accessing internet is quite expensive. However, Uganda’s internet access differs substantially by a number of demographics including age and education. Most of the uneducated people are technophobes and hence less access to ICT whereas youths and educated people enjoy ICT especially in urban and semi-urban areas
