Expanding broadband access in rural India: the role of alternative telecommunications networks
Summary. Rural India's 500 million people across 600,000 villages lack access to broadband and digital connectivity that urban areas enjoy. This isolation prevents rural communities from accessing agricultural best practices, market information, and economic opportunities. The paper examines alternative telecommunications networks as a solution to expand broadband access and bridge the rural-urban digital divide.
