Digital divide is a socio-economic situation whereby there is an unequal access to contemporary ICT for obtaining and leveraging on information/knowledge within a society. This is basically due to one or more of the following factors of accessibility, IT literacy, lack of content and affordability. These might be attributed to geographical conditions, socio-economic status and priorities of the government .

iCommunity Telecenters (fondly known locally as Pusat Internet Desa) is a Rural Internet Program set up to bridge this divide between urban and rural communities in Malaysia . What is most important about ICT is not so much about the availability of computing resources or the Internet connectivity but rather people's ability to make use of ICT tools to engage in meaningful social and economic activities.
