Infrastructure and rural development: insights from a Grameen Bank village phone initiative in Bangladesh
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluate the role of telecommunications within the contexts of rural development in general and of poverty reduction in particular, and find that pursuance of pragmatic policies can turn telephones into production goods, especially through lowering transaction costs, and the services originating from telephones in villages are likely to deliver (even) more benefits to the poor than to the non-poor.
