Abstract
This paper discusses how the mobile gaming culture in the Kingdom of Bhutan, located in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, has been nurtured and how it is supported by media infrastructure. The corresponding author has been studying how informatisation in Bhutan, mainly the spread of mobile phones, has affected its society, with a particular focus on the rapid penetration of mobile gaming in recent years. The paper first discusses the spread of mobile phones and how this has led to the popularity of mobile games. It then refers to the stratigraphic structure, including the highways and power grids that support telecommunications and the nature that forms their substratum, drawing on the theory of media infrastructure. Finally, it points out that Bhutan′s infrastructure development is supported by India, while discussing how the country′s gaming community is spreading to neighbouring countries through online channels.
