Abstract
Whole nations in the world have been shifting to an information society. Consequently, nations' traditional structure has also been shifting to a new paradigm induced primarily by the new economy emerged in the US in the beginning of the 1990s. Turkey also takes its location in such an altering world with its ICT structure open to technological innovations. Conspicuous change can be observed in dramatic mobile phones diffusion. It is observed that Turkey has an institutional structure which enables it to adapt mobile phones leading to a conspicuous increase in the late l990s. Sociability was considered to be a driving force lying on this advancement. However, this advancement was declined dramatically after 2000 resulting in sharp decrease in mobile phones. Fragile structure was considered as a source for this dramatic decline. Fragility could destruct sociability typically demonstrated in Russia in the late of 1990s in the course of transition to market economy.
