This document describes an online platform called Democracy for a New Age that aims to (1) enable independent online interaction between stakeholders in democratic processes, (2) encourage citizen participation, and (3) narrow the gap between citizens and politicians. The platform consists of two main services: Elections, which concentrates election stakeholders in one place for communication, and Governmeter, which enables monitoring and deliberation of government performance. Both services allow citizens to submit questions, comments, and suggestions and participate in debate zones.

The document provides information on the 2012 UN E-Government Survey, including what is new, key findings, and methodology. Some of the main points: - The 2012 survey placed more emphasis on integrated whole-of-government approaches and quality of online services over the number of ministry websites. - Many advanced countries are moving towards centralized, integrated e-government models to improve efficiency and access to services. - Developing countries are making progress in e-participation but gains remain uneven within and across countries. - Only 24 countries openly promote free access to e-government services indicating more can be done to improve citizen uptake. The survey assessed 193 UN member states based on online service availability and

THE EFFECTS OF PRIVATIZATION OF THE ELECTRONIC MEDIA

MuhammadShakeel211

This document discusses the effects of privatizing electronic media like radio and television. It examines the impacts through interviews with experts in mass communication, political science, and journalism. Privatization involves publicly owned companies being taken over by private interests. When applied to media, it has led to greater press freedom, more debate on political issues, and increased awareness of social problems. Privatized news channels face less government influence and can report more critically. Dramas on private channels have addressed moral lessons and social issues while film channels have helped develop the local film industry. The conclusion is that the media plays an important role in shaping public attitudes towards privatization through the information and perspectives they provide.

The document discusses several key points about broadband access and social gaps: 1) Existing evidence shows that increased broadband penetration can contribute to economic growth and higher GDP, but the relationship may not be linear and depends on achieving a critical mass of broadband users. 2) Broadband access can have significant positive impacts on education, health, and social services by improving access to information and strengthening social links. 3) However, Mexico currently has low broadband penetration which has negatively impacted areas like education and health. 4) High prices and lack of effective competition in Mexico's broadband market have reduced rollout and access, particularly in high-cost rural areas, imposing costs on both the economy and society.

A REPLICATED ASSESSMENT OF THE CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS FOR THE ADOPTION OF M...

ijcsit

Previous research indicates that there is a failure in the adoption of e-government services to citizens as planned in the context of developing countries. Obstacles behind this failure are varied, including sociocultural, economic and technical obstacles. But with recent advances in mobile technologies as well as the pervasive penetration of mobile phones, governments in developing countries including Jordan have been able to overcome most of these obstacles through the so-called mobile government (or m-government). This has provided an alternative channel for governments to improve the interaction with their citizens, as well as the quality of services provided to them. Accordingly, the exploration of the factors that affect the adoption of m-government services would reduce the gap between government strategies and policies relating to the development of m-government services on the one hand, and the perceptions of citizens on the other hand, allowing for a better understanding of citizens' needs and priorities that must be taken into account by the governments in order to ensure the success of such services on a large scale. This research is based on a re-evaluation of the empirical results of a comprehensive study conducted by Susanto and Goodwin (2010), which concludes that there are fifteen factors that are likely to affect citizens in 25 countries around the world to adopt SMS-based e-g

Japan's New Framework for Net Neutrality

Toshiya Jitsuzumi

The document discusses Japan's net neutrality policies and future challenges. It outlines Japan's initial light-touch regulatory approach but notes this approach is becoming difficult to sustain as competition decreases. Four main challenges are identified: restoring mobile market competition, responding to increasing MNO oligopolization, reconciling competition and price policies, and controlling online platform behavior. The document proposes collecting consumer data and public input to inform policy. It also suggests increasing monitoring of dominant operators and promoting competition in both network and online platform layers.

CSCJournals

Mobile communication is ubiquitous and it usage cut across all sections of human activities. This service has become a necessity in the daily activities of humans across the globe; from communications within organizations, healthcare, educational institutions, government agencies, the judicially, etc, all these human driven activities rely on mobile communications for prompt information delivery. Ensuring quality service delivery by the mobile network operators (MNOs) in the mobile communication space to meet the demands the loyal users is essential. Poor quality of service in mobile communication such as call setup failures, signals loss, congestion, jitter, call drops are some of the key indicators which usually have severe effect on network quality and the experience of mobile service users. This paper investigated how the quality of mobile communications are affected by Key Performance Indicators (KPI) such as Call Setup Success Rate (CSSR), Call Drop Rate (CDR), Traffic Channel (TCH) Availability, Stand-alone Dedicated Control Channel (SDCCH), and Call Setup Time (CST). These KPIs are mostly affected by severe congestions due to several factors. The paper also evaluates and analyze these factors which causes severe congestions on the mobile call traffic, the paper also sought the views and the user perception on the quality of service delivery and then provide suggestions and recommendations on how the MNOs could improve and upgrade their infrastructure to the modern technological framework, to ensure the users always have the most efficient and quality of service delivery.

- Lower-income school-age children are less likely than higher-income peers to have high-speed internet access at home and may rely on mobile wireless or public Wi-Fi to do homework, but these alternative methods pose challenges. - Selected school districts have taken varied approaches to expanding wireless internet access for underconnected students, such as providing Wi-Fi on school buses, but federal E-rate program rules limit the use of funds for off-premises access. - The FCC conducted a pilot project on off-premises access but did not fully assess the potential costs and benefits of making it eligible for E-rate support, which could help inform policy and address the "homework gap."

Alexander Decker

The document examines the effects of telecommunications reform and competition in Nigeria from 2001-2010. It finds that teledensity increased dramatically from 0.45 to 58.52, implying high telephone penetration. The range of services increased but quality needed more improvement. While connection costs fell 99%, tariffs only decreased 24%. The study concludes that more regulatory measures are needed to enhance competition, improve quality, and further reduce tariffs.

The document summarizes the results of a survey assessing media and internet technology access in Native American communities. It found that while tribal members are highly tech-savvy, broadband access on tribal lands is limited and more expensive than national averages. The survey engaged over 80 tribes across the US and found that further research is needed. Native Public Media advocates for ubiquitous, affordable broadband access on tribal lands through federal investment and tribal ownership of infrastructure.

What’s up with the physical dimension in the digital world?

Luis Borges Gouveia

The document discusses how the rise of digital technologies has changed our notions of physical place and time and space. While the digital world has made time and space more flexible, the physical space remains central to human activity. There is a paradox: as the digital world expands, the importance of physical place for learning, work and social interaction persists. Those who can attract people to their physical locations will be successful, so territories remain a key factor.

Presentation ICEGOV 2013 - Artur Afonso Sousa

Artur de Sousa

The document discusses a model for digital mediation to encourage direct public participation in electoral periods. It examines two research questions: 1) How to engage citizens through digital tools and 2) The role of media in e-participation initiatives. The model was tested on an online platform called iLeger during Portuguese elections. Results showed that short-term live events and media involvement increased citizen engagement by attracting visitors and participation, especially during debate events. The document concludes that media support is crucial for citizen mobilization in e-participation and recommends practices like involving stakeholders and promoting short, live, and easy participation opportunities to encourage civic engagement.

It finds that while the country has made significant technology investments, public participation remains poor. Experts were interviewed and said participation only works for the rich/influential currently. The document suggests technologies like SMS, mobile sites, and online deliberation could help if designed locally and culturally connected. It presents models and scenarios for e-participation and identifies critical success factors like leadership, managing social capital, and focusing on access for all.

Opportunities and challenges in e-democracy

carol hayward

This document summarizes opportunities and challenges for e-democracy in New Zealand based on experiences in the UK and Bristol. It describes several e-democracy tools used in the UK and Bristol like e-panels, e-petitions, webcasting, and neighborhood forums. It also shares results of a survey of New Zealand local governments that found the most common e-democracy tools used are online submissions, online surveys, and RSS feeds. While costs, lack of skills and resources were constraints, many local governments planned to expand use of tools like online polls, forums and social media. The document concludes e-democracy is about engaging rather than just informing citizens.

Technology progress

Patricia Molina

The document analyzes the influence of the internet on political participation. It hypothesizes that due to its new features, the internet promotes citizens' political participation. It discusses how the internet has influenced individuals, collectives, and states in political phenomena. It has increased political knowledge for citizens and improved decision making processes. However, survey data shows that while most Spanish citizens use the internet daily, political uses are less frequent. The internet encourages political activities by increasing information availability and contact between people and organizations. It has also led political actors to adapt to the internet in faster and more efficient ways. In conclusion, greater political knowledge from the internet generally leads to greater participation, so politicians should consider this factor.

The document discusses e-participation and open data. It defines e-participation as using information and communication technologies to enable and strengthen citizen participation in democratic decision-making processes. Some benefits of e-participation include increasing government transparency, enhancing citizen involvement, and improving quality of public opinion. Open data sits at the heart of a global movement facilitated by technology and social media that can create more accountable and effective governments. While governments collect large amounts of data, they do not always share it in accessible, usable ways. The document lists some examples of technologies and tools that enable e-participation, as well as some criticisms such as the digital divide limiting participation.

Jimmy Schulz, a member of the German Parliament, argues that innovative digital methods could allow citizens to better participate in politics but have not been fully implemented. If new forms of participation are not established, representative democracy will continue losing credibility. Schulz advocates developing a digital culture of participation with new concepts to renew communication between citizens and politics. This includes ensuring citizens have adequate information, opportunities for real dialogue, and the ability to vote on specific issues if needed. The advancement of digital technology can enrich democracy by enabling more participation, so parliaments must adapt to the new aspects of the information society.

Luis Borges Gouveia

Vivemos uma época de uso e exploração acelerada do digital em todos os setores da atividade humana. A pandemia e as suas circunstâncias serviram para ancorar o que de mais profundo o digital pode oferecer: a rutura das noções tradicionais de tempo e espaço. O contexto atual é de transição, confrontando velhas práticas com as suas limitações e encontrando novos caminhos de aplicação. Isso leva a um ambiente aberto e fértil para inúmeras inovaçõescom capacidade de transformar práticas antigas. A sala de aula não é exceção e tanto podem agora novas práticas baseadas em plataformas digitais serem transportadas para esse espaço físico e coletivo onde se ensina e se aprende em conjunto, como se pode valorizar mais, as oportunidades de colaboração e atenção conjunta proporcionadas por estarmos a um mesmo tempo, num mesmo espaço. Nesse cenário, existem desafios e necessidades suficientes para manter o mundo centrado na atividade humana e nas pessoas, discutindo o papel da escola, da sala de aula e dos professores, num contexto de um mundo em transformação (digital e não só).

Transformação digital e gestão da informação

Luis Borges Gouveia

Vivemos um tempo digital. Aprender, trabalhar e até viver está cada vez mais influenciado pela nossa capacidade de o fazer, aproveitando as oportunidades que computadores e redes nos proporcionam para o fazer mais rápido, mais barato e com mais eficiência. A Internet enquanto infraestrutura que proporciona a troca mais fácil, rápida e barata de dados, veio permitir o desenvolvimento de aplicações e novas formas de interação entre pessoas e organizações e a uma escala global. Mudou o mundo e mudou a forma como nós nos vemos enquanto pessoas, comunidades e organizações e afeta também a nossa perceção local, nacional, regional e global. Mas e cada um de nós? Como nos preparamos a nós e às próximas gerações para estes desafios? A plataforma digital designada por Sistema Esfera Digital proporciona um importante suporte para entrar nestes novos tempos, facilitando a gestão da informação no contexto da educação inclusiva

O momento da Transformação digital

Emerging alternatives to leadership and governance in a digital ecosystem

Luis Borges Gouveia

The last decade brings us a quite global, complex and complete digital ecosystem, the so called VUCA world were volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity is a common setting for any organization. Digital data and information, appliances, information artifacts and any sort of products and applications emerge, more connective due to its digital nature. Even considering different contexts, almost any economic sector, social or work setting was affected by a common digital base. Thus, whatever perspective that we can take on, this digital base made some sort of impact both in the way we work, and organize ourselves. It also alters the ways we interact and support human relationships both as individuals and as organizations. It is expected that such a digital ecosystem enhances and transforms hard skills related with information and communication technologies and the same with information based skills. Not so clear, the same happens to soft skills and the need to address new challenges in how we deal with human activity. In particular, concerning leadership and governance, there is a need to discuss emerging alternatives in a digital ecosystem.

Sobre Cultura Digital

Luis Borges Gouveia

O lugar da leitura como espaço de convergência entre o real e o digital

Luis Borges Gouveia

O documento discute como o digital afetou os hábitos de leitura e como as bibliotecas podem se reinventar nesse contexto. Lê-se cada vez mais, mas em sequências curtas e de forma não estruturada. As bibliotecas devem oferecer espaços para leituras mais aprofundadas e que permitam ao leitor expandir seu pensamento. Isso tem potencial para reinventar bibliotecas físicas e estender funcionalidades digitais para além de acesso a textos.
