“…Corrocher and Ordanini (2002) presented the role played by political, institutional and cultural cross-country differences to explain the gap; on the other hand, they also emphasized the multidimensional and complex nature of digital divide [23]. In a study conducted by Doong and Ho (2012), secondary data of ICT relevant variables of 136 countries spanned five continents from 2000 to 2008 were collected and analyzed [24]. Their proposed framework involved data clustering and multidimensional data ranking.…”

This study investigates the status of digital divide amongst Jordanian Telecentres. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of the perceived usefulness, the perceived ease-of-use and the facilitating conditions on the behavioral intention of employees. In addition, the study investigates the effect of the three mentioned factors on the user acceptance while the behavioral intention on the user acceptance is used as a mediating factor. The proposed research model was validated by distributing 150 survey questionnaires to the Telecentres in Jordan. Structural equation modeling (SEM) technique was used to analyze the results. One of the main limitations of this study is that the results cannot be universal since the study was limited to Jordan. Similar study needs to be conducted in different courtiers to either support or negate our results.

“…Halford and Savage [22] stated that the notion of the digital divide implies a simple and singular boundary between digitally engaged and disengaged individuals, which glosses the possibility of a more complex process of stratification. Doong and Ho [23] analyzed the secondary data from 2000 to 2008 for 136 countries to examine the gap of ICT country-by-country. They found that the factors for difference of ICT accessibility were not only demographic factor(gender, ages, education, income, and job) but also various factors, which range from micro level to macro level.…”

Sustainable E-Governance: The Relationship among Trust, Digital Divide, and E-Government

This study empirically examines the correlation between the quality of e-government and trust in government. It used survey data collected in 2013 from the metropolitan areas of Seoul. An index was developed to measure the quality of e-government services, and the Gov 3.0 values were reflected in the analysis, including openness, sharing, communication, and collaboration. The results show a partial correlation between the quality of e-government service and trust in government. In addition, the level of trust varied according to the different type of the digital divide groups. It suggests that as ICT (Information Communication Technology) has become more sophisticated, a willingness to share information among organizations and stakeholders may become a major factor to thoseactively seeking information and resources to make value-added products. It also suggests that more integrated data management including network securityand an open attitude toward information sharing will be more important beyond the level of technical issues.

“…As the Internet disperses to more places, these regions can make greater gains in economic development [1]. Second, Choi [30] has shown that Internet dispersion has effectively shortened the "distance" of remote areas to the marketplace and facilitated trade and foreign direct investment in those areas [31]. Finally, Internet dispersion has coupled with the penetration of information technology and allowed less developed regions to catch up more quickly [29].…”

Internet Access, Spillover and Regional Development in China

et al. 2017

As Internet access grows at different rates across regions, the Internet has had variable effects on regional economies through agglomeration and spillover effects. This paper uses province-level panel data from 2000 to 2013 to study inequality in Internet access, its spatial effect on regional economies in China and the channels through which the spillover effects are most evident. We find that the Internet has dispersed quickly from core cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai, to coastal provinces; and has had increasingly significant effects on neighboring regions. However, the Internet speed is still comparatively low outside the core cities. We then use endogenous growth models to quantify the effect of Internet access on regional economies. Our results show that, while Internet dispersion is positively associated with economic growth, the spillover effect varies significantly by region and is more pronounced in developed regions. So is the effect of the science and technology environment. Developed regions have benefited the most in the process. The three channels of spillover are listed here in order of relative significance: economy, proximity and urbanization. The spillover effect of the Internet may lead to the divergence of regional economies, working against the national goal of reducing regional inequality.
