Bridging the Digital Divide in Developing Countries: A Case Study of Bangladesh and Kuwait

Charles C. Chiemeke

Chapter 13.3 in Emerging Digital Spaces in Contemporary Society, 2010, pp 330-333 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The key trend in ICT is that the nature of international flow of fees, and the resulting accumulations of net capital flow of patents, licenses and royalty payments, are asymmetrically distributed between the industrialized and developing countries (Bartel and Chiemeke 2008). Such a structure of flow and distribution is entirely consistent with the view that technology flows are externalized in markets and have a “North” and “South” dimension (Copy/South Dossier 2006), which may result in technological upgrading of the “South.”
