Bibi Reisdorf on the ‘underconnected’ aspect of the digital divide
Bibi Reisdorf, associate professor of communication studies, interviewed two other experts on the digital divide for an article she authored in Huawei.
The researchers explore the concept of being “underconnected” with only a mobile phone for internet service and the limits of what people without internet service on a desktop might encounter. The experts discuss how policies that can help give greater access, such as the Affordable Connectivity Program, are running out of funding and may not be sustainable.
