The inequality between the information haves and information have-nots labeled as the digital
divide is ‘‘the gap between individuals, households, business and geographic areas at different
socio-economic levels with regard both to their opportunities to access information technologies
(ITs)1 and to their use of the Internet for a wide variety of activities’’ OECD (2001). This concept
has gained significant attention as a public issue both at the national and the international level; it
is frequently used as a lever in policy recommendations for telecommunications reform.
International organisms are offering options and best practices to national governments who are
implementing policies that seek to extend access to telecommunications services beyond what the
market is providing.
