The paper presents a part of the research devoted to exploring the experience with ICT diffusion in Central and Eastern European countries. The interest was broaden by the ambition to identify some of the metrics for measuring ICT diffusion, possibly recognize the different patterns behind the dissemination of these new technologies, and sort out the factors for the adoption of services supported through the Internet. It was also important to scale down the role and the magnitude of each one of the factors. The paper is a summary of the research results and some pointers to future studies.
