Five new in-depth studies approved
Five new project in-depth studies will investigate relationships between public access ICTs and mobile phone use, community-level impacts of public access ICTs, the influence of public access ICTs on information ecologies, and the costs and benefits of public access ICTs.Preliminary Results from Sharing Survey, Busy Internet, Ghana
