5G and 6G Broadband Cellular Network Technologies as Enablers of New Avenues for Behavioral Influence with Examples from Reduced Rural-Urban Digital Divide

Harri Oinas‐Kukkonen, Pasi Karppinen, Markku Kekkonen · 2021 · Urban Science

Summary. Fifth and sixth generation broadband networks enable faster feedback loops for persuasive design and behavioral influence. The authors argue these technologies can reduce the rural-urban digital divide, but only if rural populations gain actual access. Without equitable deployment, next-generation networks risk widening existing inequalities rather than closing them.
