1. Introduction:
The information and communication technology (ICT) revolution, because of its pervasiveness throughout the whole realm of human activity, has brought out a new shape in the economy, society and culture. In the past few decades, ICT has transformed the world. It’s potential for reducing poverty and fostering growth in developing countries has increased rapidly. By connecting people and places, ICT has played a vital role in national, regional and global development. In the last decade, information and communication technologies (ICT) have become the major factors of growth and development throughout the World. ICT is leading the vast technological revolution based on electronic computers, software, microelectronics, the Internet, and mobile telephones3. ICT has formed the core of the new techno-economical paradigm and centered itself to becoming new techno-economical paradigm leader. In 2003, despite the recent dotcom market collapse accompanied by even larger decline in the value of global telecommunication companies, the world’s adoption to ICT is constantly growing. The adoption to ICT and the avoidance of the emergence of digital divide has become critical for both developed and developing world. Finding the ways to make ICT part of the solution rather than part of the problem is challenging the nation states and international organizations4. It is widely believed that ICT carries enormous potential in establishing technical and organizational innovations, to reduce costs and change the quality of capital
