Luanda - The director of the National Institute for Information Development (INFOSI), André Pedro, said Thursday in Luanda that the country has seen a growth of 14,000 companies on the Internet domains since the granting of digital sovereignty to the .co.ao domain.
Speaking to the press at the end of a lecture on the impact of domains.ao and IPV6 on digital sovereignty, the director of INFOSI, André Pedro, said that the number of Angolan companies on the Internet has doubled.
"From the moment we conquered our digital sovereignty, the content became local, we jumped from six thousand domains to more than 14 thousand domains, in what is the adoption of the .co.ao domain, which are quite significant gains," he said.
André Pedro also pointed out that since the launch of the .co.ao domain and IPV6, five months ago, there have been threats to domain registrations that have been confused with the government's own activities.
"For example, there was a domain registered in the name of the Public Debt Management Unit (UGD), someone tried to create a domain similar to that of the UGD to try to commit fraud and the domain was canceled in a matter of seconds because we have developed a mechanism so that they are not developed," he said.
The director of INFOSI, André Pedro, said that the goal of the talk was technological inclusion in the country. The activity is promoted by the Ministry of Telecommunications, Information Technology and Social Communication (MINTTICS).
He explained that the meeting with the operators was also aimed at building a more solid and integrated path so that everyone, whether large or small, can adopt this new technology and continue what is Angola's technological inclusion and massification. MEL/SEC/AMP
