\r\n Mapping Broadband Affordability in 2016<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n

The relative cost of being connected to the internet underpins the global digital divide. This visualization illustrates the unevenness of the geographies of broadband affordability, the ramifications of which can be seen in some of the other visualizations created by our project, such as the cartogram of the world online and the archipelago of disconnection.\u2026 Read More »<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

The Geonet team will attend next year’s Global Conference of Economic Geography (GCEG) in full strength, running two hopefully lively sessions. Both run under the larger theme “Digital Economies, Digital Connectivity, Digital Margins.” Papers can be submitted between 15 Nov 2017 and 15 March 2018 on the GCEG website (https:\/\/www.gceg2018.com).   Digital Economies, Digital Connectivity,\u2026 Read More »<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

\r\n World regions’ access to the internet<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n

The previous post in this mini-series, Who can access the internet?, looked at internet penetration in country context. In this post, we compare world regions and their access to the internet. This box plot visualization shows the distribution of per-country internet penetration, i.e. the percentage of the population of countries that has accessed the internet\u2026 Read More »<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

This map shows internet penetration, i.e. the percentage of the population of countries that has accessed the internet within a 12 month period, from any device (click for full size). It is an update of our earlier visualizations on this topic.\u00a0 Digital connectivity is often viewed as a vital resource for successful participation in the\u2026 Read More »<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

I am hiring a Digital Geographer to work with me at the Oxford Internet Institute for two years on a full-time contract (we’ll also consider part-time options for the right person). My existing research\u00a0(much of it with wonderful collaborators) has uncovered highly uneven digital geographies: with some parts of the world far more like to\u2026 Read More »<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

\r\n Mapping The Global Knowledge Economy<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n

The geography of published and codified knowledge has always had stark core-periphery patterns. Just look at the below map of where academic articles are published from. However, increasing digital connectivity has sparked many hopes for the democratization of information and knowledge production in economically peripheral parts of the world. If you can access the sum\u2026 Read More »<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

\r\n Are mobile phones transforming Africa?<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n

The latest version of the Economist contains a boldly-titled piece: ‘Mobile phones are transforming Africa‘. \u00a0The general sense in the piece is that, where connectivity exists, mobile phones and computers are an important contributor to economic growth. However, connectivity is uneven and Africa’s economic development is hampered by a lack of access. This is an\u2026 Read More »<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>","max_pages":7}
