Information infrastructure becomes the potentially significant source of productivity increases and economic growth, and partly due to its role in attracting investment and increasing returns on the investment. The paper finds preliminary evidence of a significant link between FDI inflows and the level of telecommunications infrastructure that is present in the host country.
