Ghana: a case study
The digital divide is not vertical (rich vs poor countries) but horizontal (regions /groups within countries)
Ghana’s horizontal inequality is reflected in its technological profile.
Most people are entrepreneurs, and most have mobile phones.
Diffusion of mobile innovations in poor areas is hampered by:- intermittent coverage- network-swapping- cost of handsets
