尽管信息社会广泛发展，但数字鸿沟依然存在。这种差距在农村地区和低收入城市地区都很明显，农村地区的运营商投资回报率限制了网络覆盖率，而城市地区的公民负担不起互联网价格。首次对价值网络配置进行系统比较，以弥合数字鸿沟。其目的是确定网络技术和运营商收入模式，以最大限度地降低网络成本，保证市场竞争水平，并最大限度地提高用户的服务负担能力。评估了多种网络技术，包括无线订阅网络、边缘缓存以及IEEE和3GPP无线接入。因此，分别由WISP、社区运营商和MNO领导定义三种配置。虽然三家运营商的成本可能在相似的水平上，但决定其可行性的是投资回报时间。
Despite widespread growth in the information society, the digital divide remains. This disparity is notable both in rural areas where the operator return on investment limits coverage, as well as in low-income, urban areas where citizens cannot afford Internet prices. For the first time, a systematic comparison between value network configurations is performed to bridge the digital divide. This aims to identify network technologies and operator revenue models that minimize network costs, guarantee levels of market competition, and maximize service affordability to users. Multiple network technologies are assessed including publish-subscribe networking, edge caching as well as IEEE and 3GPP wireless access. As a result, three configurations are defined lead by a WISP, a community operator, and a MNO, respectively. Although the costs of the three operators might be at a similar level, it is the investment pay back time that determines its viability.
