Abstract

In the age of new information exchange technologies, every type of communication activities are considered as a national capital and a support to achieve the objectives of development programs and finally the Independence and Self-sufficiency of the countries. Broadband network development is not exceptional and Due to the importance of these projects is one of the priorities of every countries as well., so the main thing to implement them is funding and providing financial resources, because currently the way to provide finance and executive budget is one of the most important challenges which the developing countries are facing in infrastructure projects and utilization of the products and services derived from them. Considering the specific circumstances of developing countries and financial crises in these countries, it’s hard to provide finance for implementing large-scale projects, so choosing an appropriate method for funding of projects and infrastructure plans is an important issue. In this research we study about the methods of funding in cooperative infrastructural projects worldwide and we present a model to provide financial resources for infrastructure projects of the cooperatives and especially with emphasis on broadband. The conclusion of this study is that; the Bottom-up investment model is used for the projects implemented by cooperatives. In the end we tried to modify those models with Iran condition using Islamic tools. We used "asset sokuk" as Islamic tool in our proposed model.
