  In this article, we present the analysis of the digital divide to illustrate
the unfair access to the benefits brought by information and communications
technology (ICT) over the globe and provide our solution termed big
communications (BigCom) to close the digital divide and democratize the
benefits of ICT. To facilitate the implementation of BigCom, we give a complete
framework of BigCom considering both technological and non-technological
factors as well as a set of suggestions for content providers, mobile network
operators, and governments. By implementing BigCom, we aim to connect the last
four billion unconnected people living in far-flung and underdeveloped areas
and achieve the goal of global and ubiquitous connectivity for everyone in the
6G era.
