据《新科学家》杂志报道,日本通产省最近提出促进经济的一种新思路,认为投资于电子基础设施远比传统上对大型建设项目的投资更能促使经济振兴。据它的调研,通常获益于对道路和桥梁等公共建设投资的工程部门增长10%仅能导致整个制造业增长5.6%,而消费电子公司增长10%则可能促进制造业增长23.1%。为了促进消费电子工业的发展,通产省提出政府应投资建设一个光纤网络来取代电话线。它认为只要具有更新的基础设施,消费者就会购买更多的高级电子设备来利用它。 According to a report by the New Scientist, Japan’s MITI recently proposed a new idea of ​​economic promotion that invests in electronic infrastructure to promote the economy more than the traditional investment in large-scale construction projects. According to its research, a 10% increase in engineering units that typically benefit from public investment in roads and bridges can only lead to 5.6% growth in manufacturing as a whole, while a 10% increase in consumer electronics companies could boost manufacturing growth by 23.1%. In order to promote the development of the consumer electronics industry, MITI proposed that the government should invest in building a fiber-optic network to replace the telephone line. It believes that as long as there is an updated infrastructure, consumers will buy more advanced electronic devices to take advantage of it.
