The internet provides the means to revolutionize publishing in many ways, including making it possible to disseminate health information at no charge to anyone with online access although it does cost money to produce the article and host it online.

Mainstreaming Information and Communication Technologies for the Achievement of the Millennium Development Goals |
|

|
The intersection of ICT and the MDGs forms a critical nexus for the future of sustainable human development and poverty eradication. Yet the great paradox of the information age – the persistence of scarcity in a digital era of superabundant capacity – remains the greatest single challenge to the networked economy and society. This report argues that while the means to meet this challenge are actually close at hand, the so-called "digital divide" has shifted perilously to the detriment of the poorest developing countries with serious and potentially irreversible consequences for the achievement of the MDGs. |

The Digital Divide Report: ICT Diffusion Index 2005 |
|
Friday, August 25, 2006 by
Admin |
|
Regardless of how it is measured, there is an immense information and communication technology (ICT) gap, a "digital divide", between developed and developing countries. In high income countries compared to low income countries, internet users are more, mobile phone subscribers are higher, internet costs are lower, etc. While the national ICT policies of private sector participation, competition and effective regulation (PCR) have helped reduce the digital divide in certain areas, the digital divide persists, particularly among the least developed countries. |
