Defining broadband
• Advanced telecommunications capability– “high-speed, switched, broadband…that enables
users to originate and receive high-quality voice, data, graphics, and video telecommunications”
• Key factors– Technology neutral– Speed
• From 4 Mbps/1 Mbps to 25 Mbps/3 Mbps– Latency– Consistency, reliability, and redundancy

Quality of Life
• Higher rates of broadband adoption can result in healthier behavior– Whitacre, B., & Brooks, L. (2014).
• Faster speeds, lower latency allow more entertainment & communication options
• Telemedicine, telehealth, and telework– Stenberg, P., Morehart, M., Vogel, S., Cromartie, J., Breneman, V., &
Brown, D. (2009).

Jobs• Earlier availability spurred employment growth
– Stenberg, P., Morehart, M., Vogel, S., Cromartie, J., Breneman, V., & Brown, D. (2009).
• Broadband adoption associated with increased incomes and entrepreneurship– Whitacre, B., Gallardo, R., & Strover, S. (2014).
• Biggest productivity gains w/skilled workforce– Mack, E., & Faggian, A. (2013).
• Precision ag. will demand more connectivity– Whitacre, B. E., Mark, T. B., & Griffin, T. W. (2014).

Conclusions• Infrastructure and service
– Some gaps in western/southern Kent & Sussex
– Options for redundancy seem relatively limited
– Generally, benefits from “metro” location
• Adoption and use– Residential and agricultural use rate modest
– Cable and fiber adoption higher than average
![Page 22: State of Broadband in Southern Delaware](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042615/55d5e1d0bb61ebf5618b45bd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
INSTITUTE FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION • SCHOOL OF PUBLIC POLICY & ADMINISTRATION • COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES WWW.IPA.UDEL.EDU
Elements of a potential path forward
• Target infrastructure to fill geographic gaps with specific use cases in mind
• Technical user networks nurture skill sets & practices for enhanced productivity
• Digital literacy and skills development
• Specific targets and process for evaluation
