The Digital Divide: Enhancing Access to ICTs
OECD Headquarters
Paris, 7 December 2000
This Workshop examined access and pricing trends related to the digital divide within and across OECD countries, focusing in particular on ICT access, use and impacts.
The Workshop addressed six broad topics:
To what extent is there a "digital divide" measured across OECD countries and within OECD countries?
How big is the divide, how rapidly is it changing, and in what directions?
To what extent are different social, cultural, business and spatial characteristics important?
To what extent are rapidly diffusing new technologies reducing or changing the nature of the digital divide?
What are the responses of governments, firms, workers and individuals to issues raised by the divide?
How can we improve the common information base on the digital divide?
