    Notes:
    James F. Evans Collection, Research findings suggest that the telephone is an indispensable tool in First World development. It is logical to assume that when Third World nations come to the West for electronic communication technologies, it is important for them to examine what these technologies have accomplished in respect to First World development. But it that the role of the telephone in First World has had no impact on Third World communication policy makers, as Third World nations have typically ignored it. These apparent omissions are the concern of this article, with respect to the "modernization", "dependency" and "grassroots" paradigms and the communication policy of Third World nations. (original)
