There is a digital divide between developed and developing countries. The digital divide around the world is usually measured through statistical indices such as the number of telephone lines, personal computers, websites and Internet users and their ratio to the total population. This paper reviews scholarly published books, articles, newspapers, journals and conference proceedings that address the issues related to digital divide that is affecting so many citizens in developing countries especially in Bangladesh and the factors that alienate people from enjoying the benefits of ICT. The authors tried to discuss the overall situation and recommends possible strategies that can be implemented in developing countries to reverse the widening gap of digital divide.
