Access to reliable and affordable communications services – including broadband – is critical to development in the Pacific islands, as are applications of communications technologies for health care and education, government services, and entrepreneurial activities.
This talk will present lessons and examples from indigenous regions of Alaska and northern Canada as well as from Africa and other developing regions that are relevant to the Pacific. Applications discussed will include telemedicine, distance education, indigenous content, and radio plus interactivity using mobile telephones to support sustainable agriculture. The importance of participation by indigenous and community groups in the policy and regulatory process will also be addressed.
The talk will include references to the work of Wilbur Schramm and Meheroo Jussawalla, both of whom were mentors of Prof. Hudson.
