  Digital divide is one of the challenges that open government must face in
mid- and low-income countries. In these contexts, inhabitants are left out of
the benefits of information and communication technology (ICT), such as online
government services. The present scenario that has emerged from the COVID-19
pandemic offers opportunities and challenges in ICT access and use to current
and potential users all over the world. Therefore, it is important to know the
advancement in digital inclusion in the recent years, particularly regarding
the consumption and use of ICT goods and services. Thus, this article analyzes
the Mexican case by comparing the availability of ICT in households of the
states between the years 2010 and 2020. Open data from the Mexican Censuses of
these two years are used to produce these analyses. The results suggest that
inequalities prevail between South and Southeast states compared to Center and
North states, and that cell telephone availability has increased, fostering
Internet access.
