There has always been a great divide between wealthy, developed nations and poor, underdeveloped ones. This divide spans from economic wealth to social conditions, and it has now reached the communications and information technologies. This is what is now known as the digital divide.
In today’s economy, connecting remote communities through broadband communication is the heart of the digital revolution - and critical to global long-term health and prosperity. It is believed that bridging the digital divide, and providing communications technologies to remote communities in developing countries can improve the lives of more than 80% of their population.
