Digital Gap, Economic Development, Dedicated Internet PenetrationAbstract
The paper shows the importance to develop Internet’s penetration into a geographic area. This is achieved through a description of how such technologies aim to diminish the digital gap, by means of the economic development. Based upon theorical analysis, there is a review of historic data on the Internet’s penetration performance during the last decade (2003-2012) in the Aburrá Valley, including the most important variables (in accordance with specialized literature). Therefore, it is possible to perform three different linear regression models, making it possible to identify independent relevant variables. The first model takes into account a dependent variable related to dedicated Internet connections, whereas both second and third model define the dependent variable on the GDP per capita both in the department of Antioquia and in the Aburrá ValleyDownloads
