E,

Sometimes the English does not come through loud and clear. I believe that the first sentence you highlighted needs to be taken into context while looking at the previous sentence before that. ie. Nepal has a low literacy rate and most websites are in English, not helping bridge the digital divide....at least that is my take.

To avoid the digital divide, the gap between the people having access to information and those having no access to it, necessary infrastructures have to be developed and literacy rate increased.

Digital inequality is a much-feared issue in South Asia as about 80 per cent of websites are in English and the number of English-speaking people is very low.


Regards,

Brian
