Abstract
The digital divide still exists in a time when technological innovation and e-governance are becoming popular. This poster makes the recommendation that there is more competition between ISPs and tech firms that make ICTs, respectively. In doing so costs will be lowered making access more affordable. Also, by involving lawmakers in the tech development process there can also be fruitful regulations as well as more more appropriate technological diffusion.
