MODELING ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) FOR ASSESSING A PENETRATION POLICY

This paper develops a model of access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for increasing our understanding the complexity of this process and to assess policy for the penetration of such technologies in Colombia. The model is based on concepts of bounded rationality, i.e. the mental processing capacity and information availability are limited. It shows that some policies may increase the penetration of ICT when based on people's opportunities and desires.
