Digital Divide
New measuring of poverty line - Digital Divide -
has been introduced by UNDP in 1997. "Digital
Divide" is the global problem, related to
non-uniform distribution of information
technologies at different levels international,
interethnic, inside the country, region, etc.
The leading countries combine their efforts to
create information society and eliminate Digital
Divide. At the World Summit on the Information
Society (WSIS) these problems were discussed and
the countries agreed to coordinate their efforts
on the way of creation the information society.

Solving of the Digital Divide problem
In the modern society, the information is the
base of development of the countries and the
regions and unequal access to the information
could create financial and social breach between
developed and developing countries, breach
between rich and poor people and etc. Solving
of the problem could be reached by further
development and extending of the national
communication infrastructure, which is obtaining
by means of combining of the efforts of each
interested parties (3C Model). "Cooperation is
progress" is reached, when different participants
of the process, by executing its own tasks at the
same time cooperate and supplement between each
other. Such cooperation exists in Azerbaijan
that is why high index of the progress by 2008
could be forecasted.
