Abstract :
There is a growing consensus that communications is a fundamental right. However, achieving digital equality in the broadband age has become considerably more complex than just universal access. This article offers a more nuanced perspective on the widening digital divide that´s centered on a user´s utility of a broadband connection and outlines networking technologies that place control in users´ hands.
