Summary. A survey of Czech rural regions reveals significant digital inequality despite recent improvements. Urban areas achieve near-complete broadband coverage, suburban areas exceed 85%, but rural areas lag at only 75% availability. Many rural areas lack high-quality internet connections entirely. The research documents how agricultural enterprises in rural Czech regions face persistent connectivity challenges despite EU and national digital development initiatives.
