      abstract = {The report is intended to be a resource for  decision-makers and ICT producers and users, primarily in  developing countries. The objective has been to gather  together information to assist them in their debates and  discussions about the social and economic impact of ICTs.  It brings together the views of government policy-makers,  industrialists, researchers, and other stakeholders in  developing and industrialised countries and it draws  substantially on the results of research in the field of  science and technology policy studies. The report is  intended to be a `source book'. It is structured to  identify current knowledge about issues that are central to  whether developing countries will be able to harness ICTs  to meet their development needs. Readers will find that  each chapter contains an overview of the issues on a  particular theme, illustrations drawn from the experiences  of both the wealthier and poorest developing countries, and  a summary of priorities.},
