Abstract
Changes in the composition, distribution and availability of information and communication technology (ICT) have taken place in the past two decades. Digital technology is now a ubiquitous business requirement, whilst the availability of mobile/cellular telephones has ensured on-going connectivity. Little has been published on the distribution of ICT and other networked infrastructure in developing countries. This paper seeks to address that by examining Durban, South Africa. The spatial distribution of new technology access is examined in relation to urban change and the city’s ICT policy. It becomes evident that current spatial patterns mirror overall investment patterns. Whilst the city’s policy claims to address distribution and access, its innovations are focused on the business sector, rather than last-mile access, essentially reflecting spatial inequalities.
