Abstract: Situated in an arid desert environment at the centre of the Australian continent, MacDonnell Regional Council (MRC) is comprised of thirteen remote Aboriginal communities spanning across a region the size of Victoria. Out of the thirteen communities, only nine have access to 4G or mobile networks and out of this nine, six have received connection only in the last two years. In addition, during the last two years Northern Territory Public Libraries (NTPL) has established free Wi-Fi hotpots in eleven out of the thirteen communities. Use of mobile devices and interaction with the internet is still very new for many MRC residents.
