Presently, it is generally agreed on that Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are playing a significant role in the lives of people and society. ICTs are seen as mechanisms which provide the basis for the proper functioning of many aspects of modern-day societies and as such these technologies may be considered to be the bearers of economic and social development. The ultimate relationship between ICTs and development is believed to be positive and investment in such technologies should be considered as an important factor for the successful achievement of sustainable development especially at the regional level.
