Abstract
Recent international development literature perceives the Internet as a vast potential for
inclusive growth and socio-economic development (Dalberg, 2013). Not only could it increase
productivity and contribute to the overall GDP of an economy, but it could also help connect
remote populations to markets, promote citizens’ access to social services, expand educational
opportunities, create platforms for innovation and increase people’s freedoms and access to
government services (Madon, 2000).
