Push them forward: Challenges in intergovernmental organizations' influence on rural broadband infrastructure expansion

Javier Valentín-Sívico, Casey Canfield, Ona Egbue · 2022 · Government Information Quarterly

Summary. Regional Planning Commissions in rural Missouri struggle to advance broadband infrastructure despite it being a core goal. Interviews with 16 commissions reveal they face competing stakeholder pressures from residents, local governments, internet service providers, and state/federal agencies. While commissions advocate for broadband priorities to elected officials, they lack sufficient expertise and self-efficacy to effectively support planning efforts. The study proposes a framework combining behavioral and stakeholder theories to explain these dynamics.
