=> Informatization affects level of participation to the political process to function easily by decreasing transaction and participation cost of information production, distribution and consumption. Political process means that various social issues come up to the political issues and those issues can be reached to the political decision. It includes not only election or voting but also personal expression.
=> Type of information is varying. There is information which needs compensation such as strategy information created by political party or commercial corporate and information needed no compensation. Information expected some degree of compensation is managed by an authority or a group who has power. The author tells, therefore, what information is distributed in which way is decided by one who has a power. However, we see that individuals or citizen regiments create and distribute an information like “citizen regiments website (http://www.ngokorea.org/)”, “Nohsamo” and “Cyberparty” showed that. Possibility of discussion and deliberation about various political issues increases. Informatization itself doesn’t contribute democracy. It is up to by what kind of power the drive force is managed.
