Resumen
This book represents the first publication of the Regional Dialogue on theInformation Society (REDIS-DIRSI), a regional network of leading researchers con-cerned with the creation and dissemination of knowledge that supports effectiveparticipation in the Information Society by the poor and marginalized communitiesof Latin America and the Caribbean. The chapters in this book reflect a diverse setof studies undertaken by DIRSI researchers under the common theme of pro-poor,pro-market ICT policies. This theme seeks to support next-generation reforms thatbuild on the achievements of market liberalization efforts but at the same timeaddress the realities of what we call digital poverty– a concept that grasps the mul-tiple dimensions of inadequate levels of access to ICT services by people and organ-izations, as well as the barriers to their productive use.
