Sumario:Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have been proven to promote economic growth, but do we know that ICTs reduce poverty?

It addresses the questions: Do women benefit economically from using ICTs? Are the livelihoods of rural users boosted? Which ICTs are being used by low-income entrepreneurs?
