Klappentext 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. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Introduction 2. Broadband Policy 3. Broadband Infrastructure 4. Broadband Data 5.
