接入鸿沟曾经是数字鸿沟的基本形态。伴随互联网基础设施的发展,接入鸿沟缩小、应用覆盖增强,但人们从互联网技术应用中获得超额收益(红利)的差异依然存在。本文提出互联网资本框架,用于考察红利差异的来源和影响红利差异的机制,认为与接入鸿沟缩小相伴随的是互联网连通性和平台的发展,它提供了机会,让人们把以往投入的各类资产在互联网上转化为有差别的互联网资本(组合资本),从中受益。本文进一步认为,资产转化的规模和转化率的差异正是红利差异的来源,它既受两个“乘数效应”的影响,也受互联网市场平台的影响。
<<Access obstacles used to be the major form of digital divide. It has been changed while infrastructure for information and communication technology that access become universal and usage turns to differentiated. Thus,benefits got from connectivity comes to be different. We initiate a term and framework for analyzing the mechanism in dividend differences,that is capital of connectivity. With this framework,we find out that dividend is differentiated while the opportunities become diversified for users to transfer their assets accumulated in their lifetime into composable capital on highly connected networksby their practices as connectivity penetrated and platforms developed. Both size and rate of transformation are the key variables in the process while connected platforms played a role of manipulator for multiplier effects.
