Abstract

The Arctic is an isolated and sparsely populated region subject to harsh weather conditions—particularly the North American Arctic. These characteristics make it a unique and beautiful place, but also materially hinder the installation of telecommunications infrastructure, resulting in the Arctic Digital Divide: the relative deficiency in telecommunications services available to those in the Arctic compared to communities further south. The Divide hinders the lives and opportunities of Arctic residents. This chapter outlines the Arctic Digital Divide, how it came about, why it matters, and coming changes.
