摘要

本文探讨了在太平洋岛国斐济和巴布亚新几内亚设想5G网络的方式。5G的前景引发了什么样的承诺、焦虑和未来,尤其是对谁?为了回答这个问题,我们考虑了当前的移动网络用户、企业技术精英以及监管机构和政治家等国家行为者如何想象5G的未来。我们认为,5G部署受到那些不认同由经济发展驱动的现代世俗国家愿景的人的宇宙学取向的挑战。此外,各国政府和移动网络运营商建设5G所需基础设施的任何尝试都受到中国、美国及其盟友地缘政治的影响。本文反映了世界政治和地缘政治之间的紧张关系,展示了社会文化和政治经济力量如何共同构建5G网络的数字想象。

5G and the digital imagination: Pacific Islands perspectives from Fiji and Papua New Guinea
This article explores the ways in which 5G networks are imagined in the Pacific Islands nations of Fiji and Papua New Guinea. What promises, anxieties and futures have the prospects of 5G provoked, and for whom in particular? To answer this question, we consider how current mobile network users, corporate techno-elites and state actors such as regulators and politicians imagine 5G futures. We argue that 5G deployment is challenged by the cosmological orientations of those who do not share the vision of a modern, secular state driven by economic development. In addition, any attempt by national governments and mobile network operators to build the infrastructure necessary for 5G are subject to the geopolitics of China and the US and its allies. Reflecting upon the tensions between cosmopolitics and geopolitics, this article demonstrates how both sociocultural and political economic forces have come together to frame digital imaginations of 5G networks.
