Geographic Variation in Internet Connectivity

چکیده
This paper presents a measure of Internet “connectivity” (number of connected companies per capita) normalized by the economic “size ” of areas in the United States. We use cross sectional variation in connectivity to test some hypotheses about technology adoption. We find that areas in the South and Midwest have below average connectivity. Connectivity is also related to the living “attractiveness ” of an area.

The Internet’s tremendous value is undoubtedly dependent on its universal connectivity among a great number of heterogeneous networks that are distributed over the world. In recent years, while the Internet’s scale has expanded exponentially, the current status of its connectivity is still in the lack of comprehensive and formal study. In this paper, we contribute to the understanding of Intern...
متن کاملAge-structured genetic analysis reveals temporal and geographic variation within and between two cryptic rockfish species
The spatial patterns of genetic structure among juveniles of long-lived species can reveal the extent of interannual and geographic variation in realized larval dispersal as well as the processes that determine ecologically relevant patterns of population connectivity. However, few studies examine this temporal and spatial variation over large portions of a species’ geographic range or between ...

Habitat and ecosystem fragmentation and, consequently, the loss of landscape connectivity are major causes of biodiversity destruction, leading to disruption of material, energy, and information flow at the landscape scale. Given the importance of this issue, the current study aimed to evaluate the ecological connectivity and spatial planning of Qazvin Province, in order to re-establish and pro...
متن کاملSeven degrees of separation in mobile ad hoc networks
We present an architecture that enables the sharing of information among mobile, wireless, collaborating hosts that experience intermittent connectivity to the Internet. Participants in the system obtain data objects from Internet-connected servers, cache them and exchange them with others who are interested in them. The system exploits the fact that there is a high locality of information acce...
