摘要

5G被描述为移动传输的一次飞跃。虽然它有可能为澳大利亚偏远的第一民族社区和家园提供重大利益,但目前市场驱动的5G部署模式从城市和区域中心向外建设,有可能加剧现有的数字不平等。一项旨在到2026年实现原住民数字平等的新“缩小差距”目标为评估新技术对弱势群体数字包容的影响提供了一个关键视角。本文借鉴了“绘制数字差距”研究的发现和案例研究,分析了5G在缩小澳大利亚偏远地区数字差距方面的潜在好处、风险和局限性。结合共同设计原则的替代通信解决方案可能更有效地解决偏远的第一民族社区的需求。作者呼吁制定更全面的政策和有针对性的项目,以改善偏远地区原住民的数字包容。

Closing the digital gap for remote first nations communities: 5G and beyond?
5G is described as a step change in mobile delivery. While it has the potential to provide significant benefits to remote First Nations communities and homelands in Australia, the current market-driven model of 5G deployment building outward from urban and regional centres risks increasing existing digital inequalities. A new Closing the Gap target aimed at digital equity for First Nations people by 2026 provides a critical lens to assess the impact of new technologies on digital inclusion for vulnerable populations. This article draws on findings and case studies from the Mapping the Digital Gap research to analyse the potential benefits, risks and limitations of 5G in closing the digital gap across remote Australia. Alternative communications solutions combined with co-design principles may be more effective in addressing remote First Nations communities’ needs. The authors call for more holistic policy and targeted programs to improve digital inclusion for remote First Nations people.
