digital connectivity
Being networked electronically
Digital connectivity is the ability to access and communicate through electronic networks, especially the internet.
The term encompasses both infrastructure (broadband, cellular networks, Wi-Fi) and the resulting capacity to participate in online life: The rural area lacks basic digital connectivity.
Discussions of digital connectivity often address disparities in access—the "digital divide" between connected and unconnected populations.
