Broadband is one of the most transformative technologies of the
21st century, yet our understanding of its regional impacts remains
somewhat rudimentary. Not only are issues of broadband pricing and
speed relevant in this context, but the overall quality of service
for broadband can often dictate its impacts on regional
development. This book illuminates the regional impacts of this
pervasive and important technology. The principle aim of this book
is to deepen our understanding of broadband and its connections to
regional development. First, it uses a geospatial lens to explore
how the relationship between broadband and regional development
influences access to technology platforms, dictates provision
patterns, and facilitates the shrinkage of space and time in
non-uniform and sometimes unexpected ways. Second, it book provides
a comprehensive guide that details the strengths and weaknesses of
publically available broadband data and their associated
uncertainties, allowing regional development professionals and
researchers to make more informed decisions regarding data use,
analytical models and policy recommendations. Finally, this book is
the first to detail the growing importance of broadband to digital
innovation and entrepreneurship in regions. This book will be of
interest to regional development professionals and researchers in
economics, public policy, geography, regional science and planning.
