The content available through TV, radio, phone, multimedia CD/DVDs and Internet can be termed as e-Content. The search ability, tree menus or at least hyperlinks are what really make the e-Content different from the old printed ones in my opinion. In practical usage, those contents that would normally be available in printed format but now can be found on monitor screens are called e-Content. This meaning now also covers websites, Web logs, e-papers and e-Learning in addition to offline CD materials. Applications and games are not considered to be e-Content....More»

E-content includes all kinds of content created and delivered through various electronic media from ‘old media’ such as print and radio to the increasingly sophisticated electronic tools which are used singly or in combination today to create sounds, images and text. E-content is a form of communication and in order to communicate effectively one has to reach the target audience. The practical implications are a need to focus and respond to the requirements and orientation of the audience. In a context where much of new media is dominated by content, culture and technology that is either not relevant or not accessible to the majority of the population creating useful and entertaining e-content requires huge amounts of creativity both at 'information' level as well as the 'technology' level. Currently much e-content is geared to the needs of the relatively well off and literate population, located in larger urban cities, who are familiar with and able to interpret foreign media. There are major opportunities in terms of adapting the production of content to take into account the interpretation of images, voice and text across gender and culture and for the wider population....More»

Since the Guatemalan population represents at least 23 major communities (speaking Spanish and Mayan languages), the main Internet content producers are looking towards multilingual development of their content. The e-Content definition in Guatemala is related to the delivery of information to different sector users (government, private, academic and civil society) through the Internet.

e-Content is any information one can create, obtain, share, reflect on, discuss online with colleagues, and base decisions on. For individual developers, it is the result of self-expression and a desire to connect and be recognized for their work, with the possibility of gaining respect and profit, depending on the purpose of their being in the cyber world. Indonesians have strong business and entrepreneurial inclinations, are innovative and rich in culture and tradition, and have natural talents for entertainment and social networking. Much e-Content can be seen in various formats  graphical images and design, multimedia production in text or animated form, foreign content translated to Bahasa language so that it can be well understood, appreciated, and applied. There is a strong sense of nationalism in making as much information available in the national language in order to uphold national values defined in the country's Pancasila, the country's five basic principles: the belief in God Almighty, humanity that is just and civilized, the unity of Indonesia, democracy guided by the wisdom of representative deliberation, [and] social justice for all Indonesians....More»

1) Mobile Entertainment, the most consistent one, it includes: mobile entertainment services such as logos, backgrounds, screensaver, ring tones, and other customisation services for mobile phones.

Private or local investments are often underdeveloped mainly because of weak business models.

E-Content has changed over the years in the Netherlands. Having a long tradition of international publishers such as Elsevier, Kluwer and VNU, the change over to e-Content came early in the seventies, when trials were held with database and videotext services. By 1980, commercial information services for professionals and consumers became online. Interrupted by data carriers such as CD-ROM and CD-I (Interactive) from 1985 till 1994, Internet was  introduced almost overnight. Text and illustrations were the first types of e-Content, followed by music and video.  As Netherlands is one of the top countries for broadband, downloads of movies as well as radio and television programmes take place extensively, while streaming radio and television are also popular. In the Netherlands, you get the full range of e-Content - from text to video in all WSA categories on Internet. However e-Content for mobile is an under developed area due to the walled garden approach of operators, who like to have their own content selection....More»

E-Content is both substance and form- the kind of information provided and the media through which this information is delivered to its consumers for purposes such as business, education, and social networking. For both content providers and users, the Internet and mobile technologies have become indispensable tools for connecting people, transacting business, and providing or sharing information online. These are home, school, community and work to their users, whether they are digital natives, digital residents, or digital immigrants. E-Content in the Philippines reflects the values that Filipinos uphold. Though some of it can be highly business-oriented, others can be highly political or highly personal, transcending to the people's IQ, EQ and SQ (Spiritual Quotient) aspects of being - the desire to connect to fellow intellectuals, to people they love and care for, and to the spiritual world. To the Filipino - religion, music, and sense of humour are a way of life they enjoy sharing. In this highly complex world, Filipinos have the natural inclination to enjoy every bit of content that is available in the various communication media....More»

Practically: almost any web, CD, video, or mobile application is built to carry the content to the user or to help the user generate his/her own content. eContent in Russia is mostly viewed as a way to preserve and carry forward cultural or historical heritage, to disseminate lifestyle, scientific, educational and business information in some digitalized or interactive format, or to provide the user with the ability to create and share his own content and interact with others in various contexts and settings....More»

Content is understood as being domain specific ICT tools and information made available in digital media and delivered through multiple methods - offline, online and mobile platforms. Our approach to content has been both tops down, and bottoms up. While we recognize that rural communities
have little understanding of the wealth of knowledge and information that can be accessed through appropriate ICT tools, it would not be very productive if we were to take the onus of deciding on the nature of content
to be delivered. While there is content that is generally needed across the board, such as content related to school curriculum and national  examinations, there is also content that is specifically needed by some communities and not by others. As such our content development projects have been preceded by a needs assessment amongst selected tele-centre communities....More»
