The Adoption of New Communications Technologies by Firms in Rural Areas: A Scottish Case Study

Chapter 12 in Innovation, Networks and Localities, 1999, pp 259-271 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract There has been a revolution in telecommunications technologies in recent years. Less than twenty years ago, telecommunications in the UK and most other developed countries largely consisted of a publicly owned telephone system. Since then, many new information technologies have emerged with applications across the whole economy, such as on line data processing, the electronic transfer of funds, and remote working (Graham 1991). Computing and telecommuni-cations are now closely integrated and they, in turn, are becoming integrated with the media industries.
