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
