Information and communications technology (ICT), particularly mobile technology, has rapidly spread across nations and produced palpable impacts in most countries. Located in the world’s most dynamic region, ASEAN countries have recently experienced profound social and economic transformations, and ICT has been a major driving force behind these. Better understanding of the socio-economic impacts of ICT and related policy issues can enable ASEAN countries to further exploit the potential of technology to boost economic growth and development. Further, such an understanding can also provide lessons for developing countries in other regions, and help establish a longer-term research agenda linking theory with practice in this rapidly evolving field.
