Main features of Internet use in Lima Telecommunications is a privatized sector dominated by one only firm Telefonica’s tariffs policy  a very low level of teledensity The government’s role  low level of participation. High demand for Internet connection  collective access points have proliferated The democratization of Internet use in Lima  especially observed in youth groups.

Internet and the government The diffusion of Internet is not really a matter of government concerns. ‘Implicit agreement’ between the state and the poor functions in Lima since the 1950s. After housing, economic activities and public transportation, the informal sector is now significant in the ICT sector. However, government involvement is needed for going forward  a vision and action plan.

Internet and youth in Lima Lima  high proportion of young people without a job. Results: –Emigration –More education –Retreat into blasé and individualistic attitudes –Crime, social and political violence –Internet use: Young - university or school - students of Andean origin massively opt for connection to the global networks  Internet is providing hope for a better future

Significance of Internet use Youth and people from lower-income sectors  Internet use is effectively improving their lives Internet means much more for the poor than for the affluent groups. It makes communication possible. Users think they appropriate a ‘global lifestyle’, synonymous of progress and modernity. Internet flows are also spreading conventional views and a commercial and superficial culture

Present realities of Internet use in Peru Internet use is promoting contradictory trends towards social exclusion and democratization. In access to telecommunication services In education In social and cultural aspects These new processes and trends are contributing to make the urban scene more contested than ever.
