Ease of access to information and communications technologies is the foundation for full participation in the modern digital society/economy. It facilitates participation in the global social network formed by the world-wide universal reach of the Internet. Improving connectivity for individuals and communities while providing access to vital transformational information is imperative towards correcting the present imbalance in the use of ICTs, otherwise known as the ‘digital divide’, and to equalizing opportunities across gender, socio-economic status, and regional lines.
