Answer:
A. money available for construction and infrastructure expansion.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the 90s, the small country, cold and agrarian, wanted to be on an equal footing with the rest of the world. Laboratories and the necessary infrastructure were built to take the internet to the most distant villages. Today, 88% of people in the country have access to the web.
Another step further was to make private investment in digital infrastructure attractive. In most European countries, digital RG is voluntary, which means its use is around 25%. This does not attract investment. It was for this reason that, in 2000, Estonia passed a law that equates the value of a digital signature with a physical one. The law encouraged citizens and banks to invest in more secure and digital transaction systems. Currently, 50% of e-government infrastructure authentication systems (e-government term in English) are funded by the private sector.
The digital infrastructure of public services is still the same as 17 years ago, according to Ilves. It is an open source, non-proprietary and decentralized system. If a private company develops a new service, simply connect it to that infrastructure. Within it, data from agencies, institutions and government circulates in an encrypted form, from end to end.
