Telematics Entrepreneurship

Telematic Entrepreneurship (TE)
Before I write too far about TE, let me describe “telematic” and “entrepreneurship” first. Telematic is the integrated use of telecommunications and informatics, also known as ICT (Information and Communications Technology). More specifically it is the science of sending, receiving and storing information via telecommunication devices. Entrepreneurship is the practice of starting new organizations or revitalizing mature organizations, particularly new businesses generally in response to identified opportunities.
So, Telematic Entrepreneurship (TE) a.k.a ICT Entrepreneurship is starting new businesses base on information and commucations technology, or using technology that integrated with telecommunications and informatics such as technology for broadcasting information - radio, television; and technology for communicating through voice and sound or images - microphone, camera, loudspeaker, telephone to cellular phones. It includes the wide varieties of computing hardware (PCs, servers, mainframes, networked storage).

The importance of Telematic entrepreneurs for the less developed world cannot be overestimated. The first reason relates to education. Telematic entrepreneurship can leverage the capacity of trained teachers through telematic enhanced and distance learning. It can help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of education agencies and related bodies through strategic application of telematic enabled competence development. It also broadens the availability of quality educational materials and resources through the use and availability of telematic. All of which can help reverse the so-called brain drain. Further, education has an important indirect effect on economic development. Telematic entrepreneurship and creation of new ventures can have a powerful and direct impact on economic development, because they can rapidly create jobs, create and redistribute massive amount of wealth, expand the middle class, increase the tax base and ultimately help create a more stable society.
