For trade to be carried out efficiently at the local, national and global levels today, it is of vital importance to have an efficient logistics system in place. Transport by road, ocean, rail and air needs to be smooth and fast-paced. Hence, proper and timely connectivity is of paramount importance.

Similarly, travel or movement by business people within the region, country and between nations has to be smooth and fast-paced. Therefore, road, sea and air connectivity needs to keep pace with the times.

In conjunction with movement of cargo and people, the business communication process by telephone, e-mail etc. has to be prompt and efficient as this kind of interaction is necessary for repeat business through building of trust and reliability.

In view of all of the above, countries across the world are investing heavily on infrastructure and telecommunication. Roads, bridges, ports and airports are being built or modernised as much as telephone, mobile and broadband connectivity being added and improved upon.
