1. What is the value of analyzing the socio-economic impact of ICT in rural areas?

I disagree with that. Although the overall topic of ICT4D isn't that fresh anymore there is still a huge demand for sorting out it's potentials. For me it seems very important to create an awareness of what is currently possible and mark out the future direction. We have ICT all around us touching every part of daily life and sometimes don't realize the impact anymore. For us it can be very comfortable to assume that something is working simply because it's working. What about someone in a rural area who is new to this topic? If you can clearly explain the benefits he would get out of it and listen to his suggestions for additional useful content the result can be even better. It is true that the scene is fast evolving but if we don't have a lock at why it's happening and how wen might miss out a lot.
