Public is of or pertaining to the people; belonging to the people; relating to, or affecting, a nation, state, or community; opposed to private; as, the public treasury, a road or lake. Public is also defined as the people of a nation not affiliated with the government of that nation.
Public also refers to the general body of mankind, or of a nation, state, or community; the people, indefinitely; as, the public; also, a particular body or aggregation of people; as, an author's public. "Public Network" means a network that is regulated as a common carrier.

With reference to ICT, the only reference including public that I know (I am no expert) is public domain:
public-domain software
Any computer program that is not under copyright and can therefore be used freely without charge. Much of this software has been written in US universities, under government contract. Public-domain software should not be confused with shareware, which is under copyright, and may be freely distributed for evaluation purposes, but requires purchasing to use in the longer term.

It means accessible or available to people in general and not limited or restricted to any particular group of the population.
A system is a method of doing something, or an arrangement to assist in the doing of something.
A public system is a social structure or custom relating to the so-called nucleus of a nation. It can include official names, the national anthem and the national flag.

Aggens (1983), in the paper titled "Identifying different levels of public interest in participation" stahttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Public&action=edittes: "There is no single public, but different levels of public based on differing levels of interest and ability".
