Telecommunications models: Planning for regional development in LDCs

David Cleevely and Geoffrey Walsham

Telecommunications Policy, 1980, vol. 4, issue 2, 108-118

Abstract: The aim of telecommunications policy in the less developed countries should be to contribute to general development goals, but the links between economic development and telecommunications are not clearly understood. The authors suggest a dual approach to this problem. First, this involves the construction of models of demand based on the interaction between regional economic development and telecommunications use. Second, corporate models are required to explore the feasibility of particular supply strategies. The progress of practical work in these areas is described and includes the results of some specific research in Kenya.
