Open full text 39 citations

Abstract

The high-speed, broadband infrastructure needed to take advantage of telecommunications opportunities is not available in many rural communities. To overcome this problem, some local leaders are using a planning process that helps identify which strategies are most likely to meet top-priority goals and attract new telecommunications investments. The most effective strategic planning processes involve broad-based input from businesses, public agencies, and households.
