Compulsory readings
ITU, OECD and WEF reports. They are not required to be read in all their legth but the Executive Summaries suffice – again, click on the references and scroll down to “Observations” to get the required links.
Optional
Rest of readings. Except Tongia et al. (2005) all references are quite short, so they at least deserve a quick look at them :)
