重新思考喀麦隆农村社区的网络连接

Rethinking Network Connectivity in Rural Communities in Cameroon

Jean Louis Fendji Kedieng Ebongue

摘要:

为了消除城乡之间的数字鸿沟,喀麦隆政府启动了多功能社区咨询中心。但这个项目似乎并不能维持当地的发展。这项研究的目的有三个方面:确定喀麦隆农村地区的信通技术渗透率和互联网采用率;评估农村地区MCT的影响,并为网络规划和发展适当的服务提供一些建议。该研究考虑了喀麦隆的两个农村社区。结果表明,尽管收入低,多边贸易试验没有达到其目标,但当地居民在一定程度上愿意欢迎信通技术项目,以改善他们的日常生活和活动。为了为这些地区设计可持续的ICT项目,我们提供了一些建议,从网络设计到业务战略。

英文摘要:

To bridge the digital divide between the urban and rural regions, the government of Cameroon has launched the Multipurpose Community Telecentres (MCT). But this project does not seems to sustain the local development. The aim of this study is threefold: to determine the ICT penetration in rural Cameroon and Internet adoption; to evaluate the impact of MCTs in rural region and to provide some recommendations for both the network planning and the development of suitable services. The study considers two rural communities in Cameroon. The results show that despite low incomes, and MCTs that are missing their goal, there is some readiness of local populations to welcome ICT projects in order to improve their daily life and activities. To design sustainable ICT projects for those regions, we provide some recommendations from network design to business strategy.
