Most developing countries do not have the necessary infrastructure—the computer terminals, networks, communication channels, and bandwidth. This is not surprising when we consider that the income of the richest 20% of the world's population, which enjoys 83% of the world's income, is 80 times greater than that of the poorest 20%.1 In developing countries as a whole, 3.9% of the population have a telephone line, 0.7% have …" @default.
