This report includes a series of views and recommendations about the measures that need to be taken and the work that needs to be done in the information technologies and telecommunication sectors during the EU accession process. Even though the information and telecommunication sectors have been intertwined in many fields; both the sectors have been dealt with separately in this report due to the many different market characteristics of the telecommunication sector from the general information technologies sector such as the privatisation of the state monopoly, the breaking down of the monopolist structure, liberalisation and adjustments. In Chapter 1 of the report; a general outlook of the global, the EU and Turkish markets in the information technologies and telecommunication sectors in terms of market sizes and growth rates and fundamental market policies have been presented. Since the objective of the report is not a general market analysis; the details of the said markets have been left outside of the report’s scope. Although the information technologies and telecommunication sectors overlap with one another to a great extent due to technological convergence; the traditional sectoral divisions has been preferred and the Turkish information technologies sector in the EU process has been encompassed in Chapter 2 and the Turkish telecommunication sector in the EU process in Chapter 3. The main headlines of the topics covered in Chapter 2 and 3 are considerably similar to one another. As common subtitles in these two chapters; firstly the basic indicators of the sector in Turkey have been presented by drawing a comparison with the OECD and the EU, following which, the legal arrangements and the current situation and problems regarding the legislation have been delivered and similarly; the current status and problems in the fields of education and the increase of R & D activities have been put forward and lastly, what needs to be done on a short, long and medium term basis have been detailed with recommendations and the responsibilities of the state, the private sector, the NGO’s and the citizens. As different subtitles in these two chapters; in Chapter 2 that is related to the information technologies sector, subtitles on incitements, entrepreneurship and quality standards are included and in Chapter 3, on the telecommunication sector, taxation policies, pricing policies, new technologies and added value services that will create a difference have been tackled. In both Chapter 2 and 3, in such subtitles as education and R & D; since the current situation and problems are common to both and as a matter of fact to all the sectors, the common topics have been detailed and emphasised only under one headline and in the other relevant subtitle, the issues specific to the sector have been dealt with if existing. The 4th Chapter of the report deals with the conclusions. The report has been prepared by Prof. Dr. M. Ufuk Çağlayan and Dr. Ayşe Başar Bener from the Department of Computer Engineering, Boğaziçi University.
