| Abstract | Government agencies should investigate alternative service delivery systems in rural areas in order to overcome the problems of scope and distance. In examining alternative technologies, questions of feasibility, efficiency and effectiveness should be addressed. Numerous experiments, demonstrations, random innovations, and research studies have explored the match between specific telecommunications technologies and the delivery of specific services. Some have produced information on the effects of using comprehensive telecommunications systems to deliver various services. Others have indicated that certain results cannot be generalized across localities. Implementation of a program to bring broadband communications to unserved and underserved rural areas should begin as soon as possible. However, before deciding whether to begin large scale broadband system demonstrations in rural areas, two research tasks should be completed--the integration and analysis of existing knowledge and the development of a methodology for identifying the communications requirements of localities. The Office of Telecommunications Policy has initiated a two-year program to assess the adequacy of current mechanisms for Federal assistance to rural areas seeking to upgrade their telecommunications, and to develop, if necessary, a more effective and efficient Federal program for providing such assistance.
