Well, the main reason for this gap is that in the west people have an easy access to the internet compared to those who live in the other parts of the world. However, this situation does exist with in developed countries as all people are not able to use internet because of their income level, availability of services, their age and lack of knowledge.

The major barriers to the equal access of internet in the world

are the difference in the amount of price charges for these services such as in a country like Finland it is available for free to a large no. of population where as in developing countries one has to pay. Secondly, such technologies is mainly available in developed countries, as according to some research, world`s 80% of population belongs to the developed countries. Thirdly, since a large no. of people in the developing countries are uneducated so they don`t know how to use the computers. And lastly, as the computers are quite costly, so those who have low income can`t afford to buy it.

In Mexico, Since there is a huge difference in the living standard, education and income level of people in Mexico so all the citizens don’t get internet access. And for this reason, Mexican federal government is planning to provide internet access to about 10,000 cities by 2006, specially to those who belong to low income group.
