Omschrijving
Transforming Everything? describes broadband as a social technology and offers policymakers the necessary evidence to assess whether broadband programs are truly empowering the communities they serve.
As the world invests in new broadband initiatives to meet unmet needs and foster innovation, this book demonstrates the importance of interdisciplinary evaluation tools for effective policy making. An essential read for anyone interested in a comprehensive policy approach accounting for diversity in broadband connectivity, adoption, and use.
Broadband deployment and adoption have become one of the most pressing policy concerns both in the United States and internationally. This book provides researchers, policy makers, and students with vital insights on how to conduct sound policy evaluation, with contributions reflecting hard-won field experience.
Many discuss broadband impact, but this book provides actual evidence. Drawing on approaches ranging from experiments, surveys, and spatial analysis to ethnography, this volume provides the latest documentation on broadband's availability, use, and impact. I highly recommend it for all interested in getting the most out of digital connectivity.
