Internet and mobile phone services are also easily accessible to common people. Today ICTs are no longer remaining mere luxury to the rich; in fact the market is developing new channels to provide cheap and easily accessible communication means, profitable business and effective services. ICTs, within a short span of time turned out to be one of the basic requirements for building modern society. Under the Thematic Action Group "Research and Documentation Centre on the Mountains and the Regional Best Practices" the emphasis is not only on organising workshops, summits, research and documentation of mountains and its concerns, it is also to promote good practices for ensuring sustainable development of mountains in context of social, economic and environmental indicators.
