Este número de InMediaciones de la Comunicación aborda un tema sumamente actual: el proceso de datificación de la sociedad contemporánea. La urgencia y la necesidad de su abordaje abren un sinnúmero de interrogantes y desafíos, algunos de los cuales son interceptados en los artículos, las entrevistas y las reseñas que aquí ponemos en circulación.
El artículo conforma un recorte de la investigación “Políticas Públicas para la inclusión digital en Argentina y el Cono Sur” 4 . Se presenta un estado del arte sobre las políticas de inclusión digital que se implementan en la actualidad en Brasil, Uruguay, Chile, Perú, Ecuador y Argentina. Asimismo, se analizan los conceptos de brecha digital, inclusión y exclusión digital en el marco del análisis de la problemática a nivel regional. Por último el trabajo se focaliza en una política pública del Estado Nacional Argentino para la inclusión digital, el Programa Núcleos de Acceso al Conocimiento (NAC). Se analizan los avances producidos en la investigación sobre la base de entrevistas a coordinadores, observaciones y una encuesta, realizadas en NAC emplazados en el área metropolitana de Buenos Aires, en la Provincia de Buenos Aires y en la ciudad de Córdoba.Digital inclusion in Argentina and the Southern Cone: cartography, perspectives and problems
If we consider the expansion of digital technologies and their penetration in all spheres of life in our contemporary societies, we can appreciate various processes of change in relation to the previous socio-technical configurations where the regulations about these technologies, especially the Internet, and the battles for imposing or repealing a regulation are fundamental to understanding many of the processes, practices and subjectivities of our contemporary societies. This paper analyzes the relationship between the debates about the services and Over The Top applications in direct connection with the debates, regulations and strategies to consolidate or repeal the Net Neutrality focusing on the different actions of the actors at stake, mainly in the USA since 2003. Net Neutrality is addressed from the battles to impose or repeal a regulation that defends and generates certain obligations and responsibilities for certain actors at stake-and not others-directly or indirectly affecting users. Likewise, OTTs are analyzed because they are the main digital spaces, platforms, applications and services existing and operating on the Internet, whose development and expansion influence and is strongly linked to the debates over Internet regulation crystallized in the Net Neutrality issue. As a result that we found, the current regulations on Network Neutrality mostly favor the OTT as privileged actors. That is why, in our conclusions we advocated for a broad norm that includes them without favoring over other actors.
