...2020年6月1日，中共中央、国务院印发了《海南自由贸易港建设总体方案》（以下简称总体方案），并下发通知，要求各地区各部门结合实际认真贯彻落实。方案内容的核心是海南自贸港政策制度体系，除了风险防控体系之外，共有10大利好政策。方案的发展目标十分务实，IDC根据定量的指标来参考，综合给出发展的三阶段分析和常规、高速与突破的三种增长模式的定量预测。海南自有贸易港重点发展的旅游业、现代服务业和高新技术产业可以很好地与自贸港定位相匹配，也可以与其它地区和城市形成差异化定位，进而利用海南的特点和优势，在全球范围内形成自己的特色。这也为ICT市场带来了前所未有的发展机遇，预计到2045年，海南ICT市场规模将达到400亿美元，相当于2019年台湾CT市场规模的2倍；ICT占GDP的比例为5.9%，与新加坡2019年ICT占GDP的比例相当；35–45年复合增长率为10.7%。
市场对此方案反应非常热烈，很多企业和个人开始摩拳擦掌，不想错过可能是中国最后一波最大的对外开放机会，包括新基建、金融市场创新、高科技产业、离岸数据中心、区块链试验区机会等，这些机会的背后隐含了哪些挑战，又如何能够促进海南自贸港的真正腾飞？海南ICT市场是否是一座不可估量的金矿？本报告将一一洞察上述疑问。
