Territorial and Border Barriers in Information and Communication Networks: a Conceptual Exploration

Year: 1992

Type: article

Abstract: The role of barriers in communication networks, and their impact on territorial and border region development is explored. A taxonomy of network systems provides three major categories, where barrier networks are identified and discussed. Border regions provide the richest context to study barrier networks, since they comprise the most significant access obstacles and discontinuities. Border-region barrier networks promote the fragmentation of market areas, along with a duplication of services, resulting in contiguity diseconomies that reduce efficiency and development potential.
