What leads to being on the wrong side of the divide?

The least digitally developed countries according to the ITU are Guinea Biseau, Chad, Mali, Burkino Fasso and Niger. Using an atlas plus information from the ITU, write down some reasons why they might be on the wrong side of the divide.

The countires in the above are mostly in Africa, the poorest continent in the world. Most of the countires including Chad, Guinea and Mali are based in the desert hundreds of miles away from other civilistaions, meaning elecrticity it very hard to obtain, implying that there is a struggle to improve its digital econemy. This means that its very hard to cross 'The Digital Divide'.
