Maitland report (missing link) –1985
1st to Identify Digital Divide
“Not all people were sharing the
social and economic benefits that
telecommunication creates”
From Third World to First
Lee Kuan Yew (Former Prime minister of Singapore)
“The new divide in the world will be
between those with the knowledge and
those without. We must learn and be part
of the knowledge-based world.”
Harsh Reality ICT in Nepal
 Information poor and information rich
communities.
 Mismatched tele-density in urban and rural
area.
 Local language on Internet
 Poor Access to information for rural people.
 Knowledge sharing is weak.
