Planning for Rural Broadband

Billie Ventimiglia, Dennis J. Smith, Marcia A. Mardis · 2024 · Journal of Information Policy

Summary. Rural broadband expansion programs receive insufficient uptake because communities lack awareness and planning capacity. This study examines university-community partnerships in two Florida counties that successfully facilitated broadband planning discussions. The researchers identify how local partnerships mobilized community resources and planning practices, then recommend strategies for replicating community-based broadband planning approaches in other rural areas.
