Abstract

In the last two decades economic research has placed much emphasis on the role of advanced technologies, and in particular of the information and telecommunications technology, in processes of economic growth and restructuring. Many regional economic studies have focused on the potential of advanced information and telecommunications technologies for promoting the convergence of regional economies by decreasing socio-economic disparities. In the eighties, the concept of the ‘Information Economy’ came to the fore. This notion underlies the strategic role played in economic development by information as a strategic resource and, consequently, by telecommunications technologies as vehicles for transmitting information.2
