Yogesh, it is not clear whether you will study domestic, or private, or business, or public, or educational, or research, or associative, or collective users and their behaviour. There is quite a lot of research on domestic use (which is often confounded with private use) and professional/business use (which is often confounded with use at the office). A good start is bibliography established by Leslie Haddon: where the domestication theory coined by Silverstone & Haddon receives an important place, of course: http://members.aol.com/leshaddon/ICTRefs.html A running European research program, eLiving, includes an empirical analysis of Broadband uses: Anderson, B., Gale, C., Jones, M., and McWilliam, A. (2002) Domesticating Broadband: what 'consumers' really do with flat rate, always on and fast Internet access. BT Technology Journal, Vol 20, Number 1. pp103-114 <http://www.btexact.com/ideas/papers?doc=72736>. January 2002. Also go to: http://www.eurescom.de/e-living/ to see the deliverables What about diffusion research? You should be more specific to get more precise answers. Good luck, Frank Thomas Rosny, France Yogesh Dwivedi wrote:
