2. © Copyright 2010, Dominic Foundation - Switzerland Digital Divide is the gap between people with effective access to digital Information and Communication Technology and those with very limited or no access at all. It is a global issue which affects bilions of people world-wide, in particular in Developing countries. Among the reasons for the limited development of ICT in poor countries, we may mention: Lack of realiable broadband infrastructure; High cost for Internet connections; Cost of hardware (PC, notebooks, PDA) & software, Complexity (of usage, GUI, maintenance and installation, Accessibility, lack of a Universal Design); lack of a global solution. The AT Eco-System as well as the Accademic world and the IT Industry could not yet solve the Digital Divide and effectively include all the people in the digital era. International Organizations like UN and Governments are now actively promoting discussions and awareness and seeking for concrete and pragmatic solutions.
