Chapter Chapter 2.6 in The Innovation for Development Report 2009–2010, 2010, pp 147-165 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Innovations in information and communications technologies (ICTs) have had a spectacular economic impact across the developing world. One of the most visible is the deepening and widening of access to information and communication services enabled by modern communication technologies, notably cellular phone services. At the same time, advances in information technologies have transformed and enhanced public and business administration. More generally, ICTs have contributed to changes in global production processes, and enhanced the competitive advantage of developing countries in certain labor-intensive production processes.
