Resumen
Descripción
Information and communication
technologies (ICTs) are increasingly seen as integral to the
development process. This paper reviews some of the evidence
for the link between telecommunications and the Internet and
economic growth, the likely impact of the new ICTs on income
inequality and anecdotal evidence regarding the role of the
Internet in improving government services and governance. It
looks at methods to maximize access to the new ICTs, and
improve their development impact both in promoting income
generation and the provision of quality services.
