Abstract: | This article examines the present approach of providing e-government services through the Internet. Since the Internet is not accessible to most of the populations of the world, the article advocates adopting a multi-platform approach in which mobile and fixed line phones can be used to enhance the Internet in the delivery of e-government services. The article also suggests the concept of Government Call Centers to overcome the limitations posed by the digital divide. The study concludes that integration of the Internet, phones, and call centers can enable governments to deliver e-government to every citizen of a nation. Finally, the article makes specific recommendations to spread e-government services to more citizens through the approach suggested in this paper. |
