| Abstract | The author analyzes main development trends of the world and Russian IT sector: growing share of the services segment, processing of large arrays of data, and personalization of services. This analysis is based on the identified priority directions of the evolution of IT technologies, which include: virtualization, distributed data processing, convergence of technologies. The study finds the current state of regional IT infrastructure to be the main limiting factor of IT development in the Russian Far East. The article determines conditions necessary for the formation of the Far Eastern segment of the global information society: saturation of the regional market of information-communication equipment; providing universal access to the Internet; providing ubiquitous broadband access; reducing the cost of access and batch traffic; the increase in the capacity and availability of satellite communication; creation of inter-regional and international high-speed backbone connection |
