This paper reviews some of the evidence linking telecommunications and the Internet and economic growth, the likely impact of these new ICTs on income inequality and anecdotal evidence regarding the role of the Internet in improving government services and governance. It looks at methods to maximize access to the new ICTs, and improve their development impact both in promoting income generation and the provision of quality services. 410 0$aWorld Bank working paper ;$vno. 12. 606 $aInformation technology$xEconomic aspects 606 $aTelecommunication$xEconomic aspects 606 $aInternet$xEconomic aspects 606 $aEconomic development 615 0$aInformation technology$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aTelecommunication$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aInternet$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aEconomic development. 676 $a338.9/26 700 $aGrace$b Jeremy$f1967-$01868563 701 $aKenny$b Charles$0612137 701 $aQiang$b Christine Zhen-Wei$0700289 712 02$aWorld Bank. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971800803321 996 $aInformation and communication technologies and broad-based development$94476527 997 $aUNINA
