Višnja Križanović, Drago Žagar, Krešimir Grgić · 2017 · Universal Access in the Information Society

Summary. Rural areas face persistent digital divides in broadband access compared to urban regions. This paper proposes an extended techno-economic assessment framework to identify optimal broadband deployment and adoption strategies for rural populations. The framework incorporates regression analyses of key factors influencing rural broadband solutions, integrating these findings into standard techno-economic models. A case study demonstrates the framework's effectiveness in determining efficient broadband solutions for rural scenarios.
