"From Rural Village to Global Village: Telecommunications for
Development in the Information Age" examines the role of
information and communication technologies (ICTs) on both the macro
level--societal, socio-economic, and governmental--and sector
level--education, health, agriculture,
entrepreneurship--emphasizing rural and developing regions. Author
Heather E. Hudson examines the potential impact of ICTs by
reviewing the existing research and adding her own findings from
extensive fieldwork in ICT planning and evaluation. The volume
includes case studies demonstrating innovative applications of ICTs
plus chapters on evaluation strategies and appropriate
technologies. She also analyzes the policy issues that must be
addressed to facilitate affordable ICT access in rural and
developing regions. This discussion relates to the larger OC
digital divideOCO issue, and the impact that access to
communication technology--or the lack of it--has on communities and
societies.
a
This comprehensive volume is a valuable resource for scholars,
professionals, researchers, and students in telecommunications law
and policy, media economics, international communication, and
communication and development fields. It is also suitable for use
as an advanced-level text in these areas."
