Plethora of problems: On top of poor connectivity, many small firms in the poorest countries were impeded by a lack of access to finance, low scores on international quality certification, as well as low use of e-mail.

A Bay Area high-tech camera firm has been accused of creating a hostile "bro culture" in a lawsuit by a former employee that contains a laundry list of allegations women point to as causes of gender disparity in Silicon Valley's tech industry.
