diagram VIII-3. Level of computer availability in the administration
An important criterion for the development of the ICT in the public administration is the
saturation with computers in the administrative structures. The saturation with computers in the
administration is at a high level – 64% of the administrations assess it as “good” or “very good”,
while it is assessed with “bad” only by 11 administrative structures (2%). There is no administration
to report that it has no computers.

diagram VIII-4. Processor frequency of the computers in the administration
Compared to 2003 the number of computers has increased with 11 302 (23%). The
distribution of computers in the administration is quite equal but unfortunately almost the half (46%)
of the total number of computers in the administration is still with a frequency below 600 MHz which
means that they are obsolete and do not fit the needs of the e-government.
Their distribution among the administrations shows that the largest part of the old computers
is in the central administration (13 236) and in the administrative structures established with a law
(8 030), while in the regional administration they are only just 394. It should be noted as well that
38,62% of the computers in the municipal administrations (3 657 out of 9 469) are also in this
category.
VIII.4. Local Area Networks
According to the data received only 50 of the administrations (10,82%) have reported not to
have local area network. The remaining 412 (89,18%) administrative structures report to have such.
Only 95 (or 20,56%) of the administrative structures are connected to the public
administration network (NAMDA), while the remaining 367 (79,44%) are not connected. 22 regional
administrations and 205 municipal ones indicate that they are not connected to the public
administration network.
VIII.5. Electronic information exchange

considerably as compared to the previous year. Only one month after the compulsory introduction
