Information and Communication Technologies for Development

As I am going through the presentation on Bolivia's economic and social conditions, I realized that the project is a bit early in terms of Internet penetration and e-readiness in general. In the next few years Bolivia (hopefully) will increase its broadband and mobile penetration. With a broader user base, the website will be able to generate enough traffic in order to sell advertising and become self-sustainable. Today, Bolivia's top website, Google, has between 4,000 and 16,000 unique visitors per month, a number strikingly low for a country with a population of almost 10 million people.
On the good side, the top most visited websites in Bolivia are social-networking related. This is a good indicator of people willingness to spend more time online and contribute to online communities. This could prove key for the future of the free press website.

Finally, we need to have more telephones with integrated cameras out there in order to have considerable user-generated content. However, in the short-term, this site can be appealing to more technically savvy bolivians (people that have digital cameras)
