An 'SMS Divide'?

I was reading a New York Times article this morning about the supposed closing of the 'digital divide' in the US due to technology proliferating and becoming more inexpensive. This is apparently closing the gap between the haves and the have nots- especially minority groups. I wonder when this will happen in NZ?

I was lucky enough to meet a number of people involved in the Marlborough ICT Cluster this week, and coupled with what some of the principals were saying and this article I also wonder if there is an emerging digital divide with regards to schools who have the capabilities to decide upon a Student Management System, and those who do not for whatever reason?

I believe that there is already a rather glaring digital divide between schools in terms of staff usage/integration of ICTs into learning and those who can not/will not, but this may just be natural selection. Plus added to this there is a plethora of writing done on the subject revolving around the idea of inclusion/etc.- is this just a couple of people seeking opportunities to make money?

I'd be interested in other viewpoints and ideas about this issue- particularly in the SMS arena.
