Abstract

Objectives: To study the difference in ICT development in the regions of the North-West Federal District and the Far Eastern Federal District. Methods/Statistical Analysis: It involves the method of analysis and synthesis. It includes, Statistical analysis of databases of Public Opinion Foundation, Institute for the Development of the Information Society (Moscow) and results of researches of the Russian scientists. Findings: Today the history of origin and development, perspective of functioning of social networks gradually turn into one of the relevant directions of scientific research, and attracts interest of representatives of different sciences: from philosophers, sociologists, economists, to experts in the sphere of ICT. In general, regions of the North Western Federal District are more prepared for development of information society. Both the populous nature of the European part of the Russian Federation, and proximity to more developed countries affects such differences. As shown by the analysis, dynamics of indexes of 2008 in regions of the FEFD goes more actively, than in regions of the North-Western Federal District. More careful research is already on and more modern data is required precisely to define growth rates of readiness of information society of the NW and the East of Russia and to make expert recommendations for further development of this area. Information or digital inequality of Russian regions can both strengthen the developed regional differentiation, and to level its existing destructive manifestations on the basis of innovative reorientation from regions, resource-intensive on the information strategy of the social and economic development. Application/Improvements: Based on this analysis, we can see the problems of the development of the digital society and try to solve them. Keywords: Communications, Digital Economy, ICT, Network Communities, Region

Highlights

The gained popularity of scientific researchers of different areas in the perspective connected to development of the network environment is caused by the active approach of the modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) which are involved in upgrade of means and forms of existence, and have a direct bearing on change of social characteristics of the current time
The growth rates of the index in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug are the lowest concerning other regions. This region entered in top-20 regions of the Russian Federation on index indices in 2008, and already to the 2013-2014 transferred to the 56th place[13] due to lowering of growth rates of the index
Against the background of a low-population and its remoteness from the large centers which are followed by outflow of the human capital from the region there is a problem of feeble development of ICT infrastructure
