en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iun 2015
This book provides an extensive overview of the diffusion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in developing countries between 2000 and 2012. It covers issues such as country-specific ICT diffusion patterns, technological substitution and technological convergence. By identifying social, economic and institutional prerequisites and analyzing critical country-specific conditions, the author develops a new approach to explaining the emergence of their technological takeoff.

Caracteristici

Reveals country-specific ICT diffusion trajectories in economically “backward” countries Presents a novel conceptualization of the technological takeoff Explains why fixed-to-mobile telephony and fixed-to-wireless internet network substitution is an illusion rather than a fact in the economies examined
