Despite its low penetration in China's vast rural areas, the
Internet is generally perceived as a new engine for rural
empowerment. By examining five Internet application initiatives in
rural China, this book offers a unique view of the diffusion and
usage of the Internet and its implications on the lives of rural
people. Placed in the political, socioeconomic and infrastructure
contexts of rural China, the book departs from the classical
diffusion of innovations model and extends the existing knowledge
on the adoption and usage of the Internet by rural people. In
addition to testing the applicability of the diffusion of
innovations theory to the diffusion of Information and
Communications Technologies in the rural areas today, the study
provides rich empirical evidence regarding the actual impact of the
Internet on the livelihood of rural people. It also shows some
innovative uses of the Internet in rural development.
