 More than half the world is still offline. What's the main reason and how can this digital divide be bridged? Well, there are a number of reasons for this. Historically, attention has tended to focus on supply side issues of availability of network, infrastructure and coverage. Nowadays, attention is shifting somewhat more to the demand side, including affordability issues and literacy, people's ability to access content in their own language, which more increasingly in minority languages. In fact, in many developing countries, we're seeing a lot of either or choices coming up about internet access. So, people may have to give up something else in order to go online or they may be time poor as well as suffering from seasonable or vulnerable incomes.
