It is well known that mobile networks are 'leapfrogging' established networks in emerging markets. Take-up of mobile voice and, more recently, mobile broadband quickly overtook that of fixed services among citizens of most emerging countries because of the added convenience, and lower deployment costs, of mobile networks. This leapfrogging has often been assisted by government policies to promote deployment. However, increased access to these networks may not, by itself, increase the availability and adoption of new ICT services.
As with networks, new ICT services can also leapfrog traditional ones.
