Countries that lack a workforce that is able to utilise IT instruments will find it increasingly difficult to keep up with the requirements for international trade. Better connectivity can, in turn, help LDCs increase education levels. A study by Schumann, R. and M. Kende (2013), found that large amounts of locally hosted content—such as educational and e-government services—are correlated with lower average costs of Internet service, improved quality of the user experience and increased demand.
