Abstract:
〈P〉The digital divide refers to the social and economic inequalities that arise among populations due to inclusion or exclusion in digital resources. In the United States, for example, one quarter of the population is still offline. As the digital age advances, public policy officials must determine where the gaps are, and how to maneuver closure of these gaps. Divided into sections ranging from defining the issues, geographic and multilevel trends, stakeholder perspectives, best practices, and future developments, this book explores how governments can bridge the digtial divide.〈/P〉
