This research paper assesses the impact of ICTs (which includes the Internet, mobile phone,
pager, personal computer, and telephone) on Gross National Income (GNI) per capita in developing
countries in 2005. It found a significant relationship between GNI per capita (in PPP international
dollar) and adoption of each ICT (mobile phone, personal computer, and telephone) but not
for Internet technology adoption. In addition, it identifies factors that developing countries need
to consider in the adoption and application of ICTs for economic development.
