Global Diffusion of the Internet XIV: The Internet in Iraq and Its Societal Impact

Kevin W. Banks

Abstract

An integral part of technologically advanced societies since the mid-1990s, the Internet is a relatively new feature of Iraqi society, at least in its commercially developed form. The limited and heavily monitored browsing and e-mail access that was available under Saddam pales in comparison to the wide array of Internet opportunities opening to the people of Iraq as reconstruction continues.
