The danger of a big data episteme and the need to evolve geographic information systems
The emergence of big data as a dominant technology meme challenges geography’s technical underpinnings, found in geographic information systems, while engaging the discipline in a conversation about the meme’s impact on society. This allows scholars to engage collaboratively from both a computationally quantitative and critically qualitative perspective. For geography, there is an opportunity to point out these shortcomings through critical appra…
Tethered Connectivity? The Spatial Distribution of Wireless Infrastructure
At current growth rates, the number of wireless subscribers will surpass that of fixed telephones in the middle of the first decade of the 21st century. This fundamental shift in telecommunications has led many to believe that wireless technologies will break the 'tyranny of geography', help close the digital divide between core and periphery locations, and allow firms to be more footloose. This paper will examine the spatial distribution of wire…
Where are the Web factories
The Internet has been considered the great equaliser for business, allowing distant locals to compete with large metropolitan regions. Recent research points to a different geography, where domains and connectivity cluster predominantly in large urban areas. The question remains, are new businesses of the Internet economy doing the same or avoiding metropolitan areas? This paper examines the head and branch locations of the top 40 e–business inte…
