Strategic Planning for Telecommunications in Rural Communities

Kathleen McMahon and Priscilla Salant

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1999, vol. 14, issue 3

Abstract: The high-speed, broadband infrastructure needed to take advantage of telecommunications opportunities is not available in many rural communities. To overcome this problem, some local leaders are using a planning process that helps identify which strategies are most likely to meet top-priority goals and attract new telecommunications investments. The most effective strategic planning processes involve broad-based input from businesses, public agencies, and households.
