The way I see it, this isn't so much a question of a digitial divide, but rather one of infrastructure.
It is much more cost effective to start off with a reliable internet connection over which you can deliver all other services (telephony, education services, etc), than outfit the area with, for example, shortwave radios and keep upgrading (to copper cable, then fibre, etc).
