As broadband-or high-speed-Internet use has spread, Internet
applications requiring high transmission speeds have become an
integral part of the "Information Economy," raising concerns about
those who lack broadband access. This report analyzes (1) rural
broadband use by consumers, the community-at-large, and businesses;
(2) rural broadband availability; and (3) broadband's social and
economic effects on rural areas. It also summarizes results from an
ERS-sponsored workshop on rural broadband use, and other
ERS-commissioned studies. In general, rural communities have less
broadband Internet use than metro communities, with differing
degrees of broadband availability across rural communities. Rural
communities that had greater broadband Internet access had greater
economic growth, which conforms to supplemental research on the
benefits that rural businesses, consumers, and communities ascribe
to broadband Internet use.
