Vấn đề phân chia số liệu băng thông rộng và lợi ích của băng thông di động đối với các nhóm thiểu số
Tóm tắt
Nghiên cứu này đưa ra những sự thật về việc triển khai và sử dụng băng thông rộng tại Hoa Kỳ, đặc biệt là triển vọng của băng thông di động cho các nhóm thiểu số. Băng thông rộng cố định hầu như có mặt khắp nơi và hầu hết mọi người đều có quyền truy cập vào bốn nhà cung cấp băng thông di động trở lên. Sự gia tăng trong việc sử dụng băng thông rộng cố định đang dần ổn định, trong khi sự phát triển về việc sử dụng băng thông di động vẫn rất mạnh mẽ. Người da đen và người Tây Ban Nha nói chung có ít tùy chọn băng thông rộng cố định hơn nhưng lại có nhiều nhà cung cấp băng thông di động hơn. Những khoảng cách trong việc sử dụng băng thông nói chung (bao gồm băng thông cố định và di động) đối với các nhóm thiểu số vẫn tồn tại và khá lớn. Các phương pháp ước lượng đối sánh cho thấy việc chậm trễ trong việc áp dụng băng thông rộng trong các nhóm thiểu số không hoàn toàn có thể giải thích bằng các đặc điểm nhân khẩu học và kinh tế. Băng thông di động đem lại triển vọng đặc biệt cho các nhóm thiểu số liên quan đến chăm sóc sức khỏe và y tế điện tử, và các cộng đồng này có độ phụ thuộc tương đối lớn vào các hình thức băng thông di động. Hai phát hiện quan trọng là 1) người da đen có xu hướng truy cập Internet qua điện thoại di động nhiều hơn người da trắng (sau khi kiểm soát cho những khác biệt về nhân khẩu học giữa các nhóm), và 2) không có sự chênh lệch đáng kể trong việc sử dụng băng thông di động giữa các nhóm thiểu số và người da trắng theo bất kỳ một trong hai biện pháp sử dụng nào được xem xét. Các ý nghĩa của những phát hiện này đối với chính sách phân bổ băng tần và thuế đối với dịch vụ vô tuyến được thảo luận.
