Abstract

ABSTRACT Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) have drastically improved global connectivity and pervaded into most aspects of modern human life. To appropriate the benefits from ICTs, access to the required technology is an essential prerequisite. India’s ICT adoption has been fast since 2000, but with sizeable disparities across the country. This study identifies the diffusion pattern of digital communications services in India, while accounting for technological augmentation. The study also surveys the factors influencing the variations in regional ICT adoption in India and supports Rogers theory of innovation diffusion by investigating how the social systems impacts technology adoption at different penetration levels. The findings will be useful for infrastructure capacity planning, taking policy decisions and projecting the diffusion process of emerging consumer technologies for advancing digital inclusion to support inclusive development.

数字通信服务在印度的推广和采用

信息通信技术(ict)极大地改善了全球连通性，并渗透到现代人类生活的大多数方面。要充分利用信息通信技术的惠益，获得所需的技术是必不可少的先决条件。自2000年以来，印度的信息通信技术采用速度很快，但在全国范围内存在相当大的差距。本研究确定了印度数字通信服务的扩散模式，同时考虑到技术的增强。研究还考察了影响印度ICT地区采用差异的因素，并通过研究不同渗透水平下社会制度对技术采用的影响来支持罗杰斯的创新扩散理论。研究结果将有助于基础设施能力规划、政策决策和预测新兴消费技术的传播过程，以推进数字包容，支持包容性发展。

期刊介绍： Information Technology for Development , with an established record for publishing quality research and influencing practice, is the first journal to have explicitly addressed global information technology issues and opportunities. It publishes social and technical research on the effects of Information Technology (IT) on economic, social and human development. The objective of the Journal is to provide a forum for policy-makers, practitioners, and academics to discuss strategies and best practices, tools and techniques for ascertaining the effects of IT infrastructures in government, civil societies and the private sector, and theories and frameworks that explain the effects of IT on development. The concept of development relates to social, economic and human outcomes from the implementation of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools, technologies, and infrastructures. In addition to being a valuable publication in the field of information systems, Information Technology for Development is also cited in fields such as public administration, economics, and international development and business, and has a particularly large readership in international agencies connected to the Commonwealth Secretariat, United Nations, and World Bank.
