I prefer no to talk about "impact", analize " social apropiation" its better. In some rural comunnities ICT its being accepted, but if we talk about development its more complex. I think there is a big hole between apropiation and development, ICT dont brings development itself. Its important to investigate the link beetwen social apropiation of ICT and innovation, for example.
Or see if there are stakeholders, like universities, companies, comunnity, local government building a net of knowledge, I repeat use o ICT dosent mean something good or bad and if we want to demostrate how they help to development of rural areas we have to take into account more issues.
