Information and communication technologies, henceforth ICTs, have received enormous attention in recent times. During the decade of the 90s, there was a significant expansion in ICT infrastructure both in the context of industrialized and developing countries. The present study addressed this issue under four research questions- the first is why access to ICTs is important, the second is how to provide access for the households living in rural areas of developing countries, the third is what are the direct welfare implications of the use of telecommunications and the fourth is what are the indirect welfare implications of the use of telecommunications.
