N2 - The DFID SSR-funded research programme, 'Information Society: Emergent Technologies and Development Communities in the South', began in June 2003 and has run for two years. The project started with the premise that sustained qualitative research into the access and use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) by poor people in the South is significantly absent in discussions of the digital divide, information inequality and poverty. Critically, the research took a broad view of communications technologies and sought to reveal the extent to which processes of electronic, mass mediated and everyday social communication practice converge in distinct and localised 'communicative ecologies'.
