Nuevas tecnologías, viejos problemas. El modelo español de difusión de Internet

Abstract

This paper takes as a fundamental tasks that of examining the variables that may explain the spread of internet in Spain. We set out to use the following indicators to measure not only the spread of internet but also its nature: "patterns of access to internet" — which can be of the egalitarian or non egalitarian type— and "patterns of diffusion" — which can be massive or restrictive—. We assume that the connection between public and private intervention explains the egalitarian or non egalitarian, massive or restrictive spread of internet in Spain as compare to other case study observed.
