Internet Village Motoman Project in rural Cambodia: bridging the digital divide
Summary. A wireless internet project in rural Cambodia motivated users through identity, social connection, and community ownership. The system generated unintended benefits including increased social interaction, internet commerce, telemedicine, and e-government services. User adoption depended on social interactions and community dynamics, not individual decisions alone, demonstrating how practical internet infrastructure can bridge the digital divide in developing regions.
