“…According to Ives, Hamilton & Davis, development measures include participation, support and satisfaction with the development effort whilst operations measures encompass resource use, service to users and satisfaction of end users. Examples of these include: Lai & Reeh (1995), who compared ISDN implementation in the US and Germany; Cross, Earl & Sampler (1997), who reported on the transformation of the IT function at British Petroleum; and Yusof & Rahim (1994), who gave a Malaysian perspective on problems in computer-based IS development.…”

“…Thus, government intervention may constitute a key push factor [Muzumdar and Madey, 1995]. For example, Lai and Reeh [1995] found that government intervention was one of the key factors that pushed ISDN to success in Singapore. Goodman et al [1994],…”

Despite the magnitude of the Internet phenomenon, relatively few studies investigate the factors influencing its diffusion. This paper seeks to provide a better understanding of the forces that influence the diffusion of the Internet in Singapore. A push-pull framework that incorporates the political, technological, economic, and social factors is developed as the basis for examining this phenomenon. Based on this framework, a content-analytic approach is used to analyze the messages conveyed in Singapore's two local English-medium newspapers. The results show that both push and pull forces predominated in the early stages of Internet diffusion. However, as time went by, the pull forces predominated over the push forces. The results also show that factors such as building telecommunication infrastructure, having on-line information and services, and creating business opportunities were important in the diffusion of the Internet in Singapore.

“…Fibre-in-the-loop was installed on a large scale across both eastern and western Germany (Pospischil, 1995) and the bre-optic network was built up through the introduction of broadband communication services (Steinbrink, 1994). Deutsche Telekom's telephone based informationservices presence makes a hybrid television/telephone hardware receiver and transmitter most likely (Lai and Reeh, 1995). Despite the deregulation of the telecommunications markets in Europe, Deutsche Telekom is still three-quarters state-owned.…”

Leading industrialized nations are now involved in the full implementation of national information superhighways. Their efforts will depend largely on the roles and levels of involvement of public institutions and how this is perceived and reacted to by the private sector. Through the evolution of eight scenarios of public institution involvement, this paper extrapolates the consequences that each brings about in the development of a national information superhighway. In particular, this paper examines the consequences of the development of an information superhighway for the UK within the context of each scenario and draws comparisons with developments in other countries. Contrary to popular belief, we show that there is no full solution for the shortcomings experienced in the development of the UK's information superhighway; rather, each scenario offers solutions for a subset of the shortcomings.
