Chapter Chapter 6 in Sources of Information Value, 2004, pp 85-99 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Stage (4) of the value chain deals (see Figure 1.3, p. 11) with the firms who build the computer devices that end-users employ to access the Internet. The devices run software that allows them to make requests of servers over an Internet protocol (IP) network. Hardware devices have become much more diverse than just desktop and portable PCs. Fresh interactive implementations appear regularly, and now also include personal digital assistants (PDAs, also called handhelds or palmtops), third-generation mobile phones, satellite phones, televisions, entertainment/game consoles and more.
