Public policy, including the National Broadband Plan (FCC 2010), has been premised on the expectation that broadband use fosters economic opportunity for communities. The quote from Commissioner Rosenworcel at the beginning of this chapter demonstrates the significance of broadband for public policy, beyond a utility to be regulated. Until now, however, evidence for assumptions about the benefits of broadband adoption has been lacking because of a scarcity of reliable data over time. Measuring broadband subscriptions rather than deployment is critical because of what has been called the "subscription gap" (Tomer and Shivaram 2017) - the difference between broadband availability and the reality of those who can afford it and have the ability to use it. In this chapter we review the findings throughout the book, discuss place-based barriers in communities, and implications for public policy"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Community development $z United States. 650 0 $a Broadband communication systems $x Government policy $z United States. 650 0 $a Telecommunication policy $z United States. 700 1 $a Tolbert, Caroline J., $e author. 700 1 $a LaCombe, Scott J., $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012207.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20211005011736.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=63D4AF880C7C11EC8E70AEE442ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
