Robert Casselman

This paper’s objective is to identify the level of digital inclusion made possible by Brazilian digital divide program Electronic Government – Citizen Attention Service (Governo Eletrônico – Serviço de Atendimento ao Cidadão – Gesac) on indigenous lands. We are guided by Brazilian sociologist Bernardo Sorj’s five level digital inclusion system: 1) the existence of physical transmission infrastructure, 2) the availability of equipment/connection, 3) training in the use of computing tools and the internet, 4) the intellectual ability and social integration, and 5) the production and use of specific content.

Paper presented at IAMCR Conference 2013: Crises, “Creative Destruction” and the Global Power and Communication Orders, Dublin, Ireland, 25-29 June 2013. About the Authors Isis Valle Rodrigues da Costa: Bachelor in Journalism by Universidade de Brasília - Brazil. Has a degree in Communication, Computers and Multimedia, and a masters in Creative Industries: Web, Media and Arts at Université Paris 8 - France. Fernando Oliveira Paulino: Bachelor, master and PhD in Communication at Universidade de Brasília - Brazil. Abstract This paper’s objective is to identify the level of digital inclusion made possible by brazilian digital divide program Electronic Government – Citizen Attention Service (Governo Eletrônico – Serviço de Atendimento ao Cidadão – Gesac) on indigenous lands. We are guided by Brazilian sociologist Bernardo Sorj’s five level digital inclusion system: 1) the existence of physical transmission infrastructure, 2) the availability of equipment/connection, 3) training in the use of computing tools and the internet, 4) the intellectual ability and social integration, and 5) the production and use of specific content. Our hypothesis is that the programs do not consider the follow through of internet access points after their implementation, as they do not provide for updates and repair or replacement of damaged or outdated equipment. Thus, the access points are easily and often subject to technical problems that result in underuse or even obsolescence. To test this hypothesis, we performed the observation of the internet access point in the indigenous school Pamáali, of baniwa and coripaco ethnicities, located in the northwestern area of the Brazilian Amazon. We also discussed and conducted interviews with actors involved in the implementation of digital inclusion programs aimed at indigenous peoples: ministries and Indian National Foundation (FUNAI) officials, representatives of the third sector and indigenous themselves. Our main argument is that as long as Brazilian government’s digital inclusion actions aimed at indigenous peoples are not created and implemented as part of a broader indigenous policy and do not take into consideration the specificities of these groups, these iniciatives will be limited to providing internet connection and donating equipment that shall either remain underused or will rapidly deteriorate.

Digital Divide Introduction

Julie Lindsay

Question 1.1

Lautrie Mofutsana

In order to improve personal and organizational knowledge, people have to take time to make sense of the information torrent. If not, it remains merely information. Unfortunately, many of today’s knowledge workers don’t have the time, discipline or the essential skills to select, filter, evaluate and comprehend their multifarious information sources. This can lead to missed opportunities, poor decision-making and suboptimal performance. The 21st century knowledge worker needs to be confident and comfortable with using social technologies and engaging with communities and social learning networks to update his or her knowledge in order to remain relevant. This session explores some of the tools, skills and processes that can help with information sense-making, and looks at the emergent roles of the Community Manager and Digital Curator in delivering value to learning networks.

As in other regions of the world, the use of mobile telephony in Latin America increased dramatically during the last decade surpassing all expectations for the industry. Mobile telephony was initiated as a premium service used mostly by professionals and during the mid-1990s it became a device used by very low income groups. In Latin America, mobile telephony provides the only source of access to some of the poorest segments of the population and it has become the central mode of communications. Mobile networks will provide coverage to 90% of the world's population by 2010, compared with 80% in 2005. In the region, despite several economic slumps, the number of mobile subscribers increased from 4 million in 1995 to close to 300 million in 2005.

Market Structure and Penetration in the Latin American Mobile Sector

Dialogo regional sobre Sociedad de la Información

Access to telephony for low-income groups is largely based on different strategies of mobile telephony usage. The main goal of this research project is to explore the strategies employed by the poor in Latin America and the Caribbean to access and use mobile telephony services, as well as to identify the major market and regulatory barriers for increased penetration and usage. More generally, it seeks to contribute to the discussion on how access to mobile telephony contributes to improving the livelihoods of the poor –what we call mobile opportunities. Our results show that mobile telephony is highly valued by the poor as a tool for strengthening social ties and for increased personal security, and that it is beginning to prove useful for enhancing business and employment opportunities. Overall, the survey results suggest that the acquisition of mobile phones by the poor has an economic impact reflected mainly in improved social capital variables such as the strengthening of trust networks and better coordination of informal job markets. These findings reveal the continued need to develop innovative business models that extend the market frontier for mobile telephony. They also highlight the urgent need to rethink public policies that are premised on the mobile phone as a luxury good. Clearly, for the poor, mobile telephony has long been the most cost-effective and accessible alternative.

This study builds on the findings of an extensive quantitative survey, led by the Regional Dialogue on the Information Society and conducted in seven countries across the region including Jamaica. Among the findings was that 93.8% of Jamaicans surveyed were mobile users. The study also yielded rich results in relation to the use of mobile services among youth, finding that they had above average adoption levels of text messaging and other mobile services. In light of this data on Jamaica’s unique situation, this paper seeks to answer the questions: What value-added features and mobile services are young people using and what are they using them for? The goal was to determine how these services and features fulfill needs in their day-to-day lives covering various aspects such as security, social interaction, cost-saving, recreation and commercial activities.

This project provides background information as the foundation for a more intensive study to be entitled ‘Genderstanding Mobile Telephony: Women, Men and their Use of the Cellular Phones in the Caribbean’ on usage of mobile telephony by men and women across varied age ranges in the region. The data suggests that telephony has undergone dramatic transitions over the last five years. From an overwhelming presence of wire-line technology, the regional industry is now dominated by wireless subscribers getting service mainly through an interlocking network of cellular sites.

En suma, el Perú ha cambiado en los últimos años gracias a la comunicación por TIC. Sin embargo, no se han visto esfuerzos de gran envergadura impulsados por el Gobierno para permitir la interconexión de la ciudadanía. A excepción de pequeños proyectos sectoriales y desconectados como el Proyecto Huascarán, Una Laptop por Niño o el mismo Fondo de Inversión en Telecomunicaciones (FITEL), no existe aún un proyecto país para brindar TIC de calidad a los hogares peruanos. Este hecho es ciertamente preocupante en la medida que, dados los resultados obtenidos en el presente trabajo mediante el método de Propensity Score Matching, el acceso conjunto a estos medios puede incrementar el ingreso promedio per cápita del hogar en 105 Nuevos Soles. Más aún, el solo acceso a telefonía fija o móvil, o Internet puede aumentar el ingreso promedio per cápita del hogar en 19, 132 o 365 Nuevos Soles. Los resultados de datos de panel con efectos fijos muestran que la telefonía móvil y el Internet presentan un efecto, aunque menor, positivo sobre el nivel ingreso, de 28 y 104 Nuevos Soles respectivamente. Ambos servicios, de manera conjunta, aumentan el ingreso en 216 Nuevos Soles. 40 Asimismo, la importancia de las TIC se evidencia también en el hecho de que diversos países ya las han incluido dentro de sus planes nacionales de desarrollo. Como ejemplos recientes están Brasil y Estados Unidos. Brasil, a finales del 2009, ha incorporado dentro de su plan nacional de crecimiento el subsidio al Internet de Banda Ancha para que cualquier hogar pueda acceder a una conexión mínima en sus hogares. Estados Unidos, a principios del 2010, ha publicado su Plan Nacional de Banda Ancha, en donde asegura que, en este Gobierno, cada estadounidense tendrá acceso a Internet de alta velocidad en su domicilio. Ellos son algunos ejemplos que deberían ser considerados en el diseño de políticas, considerando la importancia que las TIC tienen en el crecimiento económico. No obstante, los resultados también muestran una situación interesante. La telefonía fija no se presenta más como un instrumento para el incremento del bienestar económico del hogar, en tanto su efecto es no significativo. En ese sentido, medidas de política social y regulatoria deberían enfocarse en la promoción de paquetes de Internet y telefonía móvil que no se vean atados al requerimiento de la telefonía fija. Asimismo, el incremento de la penetración de Internet en la vivienda debería ser una prioridad en las políticas sociales que persigan los nuevos gobiernos, dado que el acceso a la telefonía móvil es grande en la actualidad. En ese sentido, programas de banda ancha a bajo costo deberían ser más exhaustivamente examinados, como el puesto en marcha por el estado de Sao Paulo desde el 16 de octubre del 2009, denominado “Programa Banda Ancha Popular”, que ofrece conexiones de 256 Kbps a un costo de R$ 29,8 o US$ 16 mensuales aproximadamente (incluidos módem e instalación). Finalmente, políticas sectoriales deberían to

Impacto de las TIC en el ingreso de los hogares

Innovation is a productive process which relies on human resources and investment in capital assets procurement, machinery and/or equipments intended for technological development and innovation activities. If the production function at the microeconomic level is the relationship between productive factors and output, capital allocated to ICT can be taken as another productive factor, in the same way as capital, work and human capital. The relative ease of access to ICT, due to their fast price reduction and quality increase, and to the fact that they are considered general purpose technologies, have led various scholars to propose that ICT, due to their effect on cost reductions of coordination among individuals and firms, may produce a change in firm structure. Likewise, innovation also has an effect on productivity, mainly through total factor productivity but also by interacting with other factors such as capital or human capital. This innovation refers to technologically new processes and products, either at firm, local, country or global level. The emphasis on novelty does not mean to make more of the same, but to expand human knowledge frontier, observing that what is novel may also be applied at firm or country level. Therefore, when we speak about innovation, we must understand that what is new for a particular country may not be new at international level.
