Analysing the Current State of Play in Regional Community Portals using the S Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
Regional community portals (RCPs) have the potential to bridge the ‘digital divide’ between urban and non-urban Australia. The government has recognised this potential and developed various programs and initiatives, including Networking the Nation, to cultivate it. However, the success appears to be limited for far. This paper proposes the S model to analyse the current state of play in RCPs. The S model will form the basis for a review of the operational, policy and implementation level issues in RCPs with the view to develop an RCP framework which best meets the governments’ desired outcomes in terms of functionality, financial sustainability and appropriateness in the Australian environment.
