In 2004 ICP-ANACOM pursued a policy of investing in areas of major importance to fulfil the responsibilities set out in its statutes, as per the 2004-2006 three-year plan.
The technical areas absorbed about 32% of investment, namely basic equipment needed for management and oversight of radio spectrum and communications operators; the computer support equipment area accounted for 47% of investment, specifically in ?software? to support sector supervision. The other support areas accounted for the remaining 21% of investment, namely improvements to own infrastructure and the execution of work to renovate ICP-ANACOM facilities.
Note that investment did not reach the amount forecast in the activities plan and in the budget, as during the year some projects had to be reformulated, including the postponed acquisition of a building to install the headquarters, renovation of the vehicle fleet and other projects involving tenders of a broader scope, with lengthier execution deadlines, which could not be completed during the financial year in question.
The result of the movements that occurred in the fixed asset categories is depicted in the following table:

In conclusion, it is noteworthy that, as in previous years, the financial year in question saw an increased tendency for the value of net fixed assets to drop, taking into account that the financial year?s pace of amortisations remained stable, contrary to the amount of investment which did not reach the budgeted amounts.
