Abstract | In the ten years since the Center for Rural Policy and Development began its survey of broadband adoption in Minnesota, the growth of broadband use -- and its necessity -- has been nothing short of remarkable. Since 2001, its availability has spread steadily, and its adoption has risen accordingly statewide. Both private and public entities have endeavored to build out an adequate broadband infrastructure across the state, but today, while residents of virtually every city in the state have access to broadband, there are still many pockets in rural areas where broadband is not available, and in rural communities that do have access, not everyone has access to or can afford the speed necessary to do the more complex activities that are emerging every day on the Internet. To get a little closer look at the question of rural access, the researchers this year divided the state's counties into three groups: the seven-county Twin Cities group; the Metropolitan or Micropolitan Statistical Areas counties group; and the Rural counties group (these definitions are explained further in the Methodologies section). This report illustrates how the survey results show that a significant divide still exists in several ways. (ERIC). |
