Text

For other countries, Internet development cannot proceed unless more fundamental concerns about infrastructure are addressed. In Chile, one of the most prosperous emerging markets, 57 percent of the fixed telephone lines and 58 percent of the mobile-phone subscribers are located in the capital city, leaving most of the country without Internet access. And Africa’s underdeveloped telecommunications sector has left much of that continent without reliable connections to the World Wide Web. For instance, the Democratic Republic of the Congo still has no direct link to the Internet, and a large number of African countries can count no more than a few hundred active Internet users.

The main idea of the paragraph

To bridge the “digital abyss”, most other countries should first develop their tele-communications infrastructure.

为了填平与发达国家之间的数字深渊，大多数其他国家首先应该发展其通讯基础设施。
