Kesenjangan Digital, Didefinisikan
•
Kesenjangan antara mereka yang
• Menurut Inpres No.3 Tahun 2003, disebutkan bahwa digital divide adalah keterisolasian dari perkembangan global karena tidak mampu memanfaatkan informasi.
• Kesenjangan ini akan berpengaruh kepada percepatan pembangunan di Indonesia.
• Berdasarkan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh
International Telecommunication Union (ITU),
• Disini bisa kita lihat, bahwa kemajuan suatu bangsa di masa yang akan datang ditentukan dari tingkat adopsi pita lebar (broadband adoption) serta konsumsi konten digital (digital content consumption).
• Salah satu aspek penting dalam mengatasi digital divide adalah infrastruktur telekomunikasi.
Kesenjangan Digital :
Lebih dari stereotipContoh:
▫ Indonesia : Akses broadband pedesaan / perkotaan
Broadband : Apa itu??
Broadband: FCC
• Home broadband users are those who said they used any one of the following technologies to
access the internet from home:
▫ cable modem
▫ a DSL-enabled phone line
▫ fixed wireless
▫ satellite,
▫ a mobile broadband wireless connection for your computer or cell phone
Broadband: Kecepatan
• US speeds lag the world
▫ DSL rata-rata setengah megabit per detik ▫ Kabel rata-rata 1.5 megabits per detik
▫ Canada: 5-10 megabits per detik
Akses Broadband : Definisi USA
• FCC mendefinisikan “akses broadband” berdasarkan kode pos
▫ If there is one subscriber in a 5-digit zip code, the FCC assumes that everyone in the zip code has access
▫ If there are two providers, FCC assumes
competition -- even though generally people have either DSL or cable access
Broadband: USA Posisi Global
• Denmark leads the G7 group of industrialized
countries in broadband penetration per 100 people (OECD)
▫ 2001: US ranked 4th in the 30 OECD nations ▫ 2008: US ranked 15th
• Pew: “our broadband access tends to be slower and less capable than that of a number of other nations, but the lack of solid data from the federal government makes this hard to quantify.” (InfoWeek)
Broadband: Kesenjangan Pedesaan /
Perkotaan
• The problem: kepadatan penduduk
▫ 25% population; 75% land mass
• Kita menghadapi masalah ini dengan listrik dan telepon: hasilnya adalah listrik pedesaan dan
koperasi telepon, pinjaman pemerintah yang diberikan (semua dilunasi)
• WiMax mungkin “fix”
Cell Towers
Mobile: USA di Posisi Global
• New York Times columnist Thomas L.
Friedman, Aug 2005: (tongue-in-check)
Mobile: Teknologi US
• In Europe, gov’t standardized on GSM
• In US, gov’t was “hands off”, let the market
decide
▫ Late 2000s, transition began to GSM (AT&T/Cingular)
Mobile: Gambaran Global
• GSM is the fastest growing communications
technology of all time (cite) ▫ 85% of the global market
Mobile: Menghubungkan Dunia
• Mobile Internet (which definition?):
▫ Browsing Internet from mobile device
▫ Accessing Internet from a mobile network
• Taiwan: more mobile phones than people! ▫ Leapfrog technology (wireless v wired)
Mobile: Asia
• "We want to make the mobile phone a Swiss Army knife that can do anything for you," China Mobile chief executive officer Wang Jianzhou to
BusinessWeek.
• Japan, South Korea, Australia, Taiwan, and Hong Kong are the leaders in mobile convergence
• Contributing cultural issues:
▫ Commuting patterns
▫ Minimal private spaces
Mobile: Konvergensi
• US lags the world due to competing “standards”
for how the data (voice) is transmitted; has led to slower adoption
Literasi Global
(1/3)• Isu lain : literasi
▫ Many definitions -- makes it difficult to compare data
• UN Data, literacy rate,15-24 year olds ▫ Afghanistan, 34%
Literasi Global
(2/3)• United Nations Literacy Decade (2003-2012)
▫ 2000: one in five adults aged 15+ was illiterate
Women: two out of three illiterate adults.
▫ 2000: about 70 per cent of the world’s illiterate
Literasi Global
(3/3)• For internet access to be beneficial, literacy is a
necessary condition
• This is where TV has an “advantage” in oral cultures
▫ But TV promotes consumerism and requires media literacy skills to effectively decode
commercial messages
Kesenjangan Digital adalah …
• … lebih kompleks daripada mengembangkan
dunia vs dunia berkembang
• Bagaimana hal ini berhubungan, khususnya, teknologi & masyarakat?
