adoption at a national or international scale, looking at how rates vary across large
segments of the population.5
However, new survey questions from the U.S. Census
Bureau enable analysis at the metropolitan scale, creating new ways to measure and
understand where America falls short in getting people online. This subnational approach
is especially important because local and state governments play a lead role in guiding
Internet policy, including infrastructure deployment, public outreach, skills development,
and affordability programs.6
This brief uses 2013 and 2014 American Community Survey data to track current and
changing broadband adoption rates at the metropolitan scale, while using a combination
of other Census and Internet speed data to model what factors affect metropolitan
adoption rates. In turn, the results of this analysis have clear implications for efforts to
address the significant gaps in American Internet adoption.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br></font></span></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888">-- <br><div><div dir="ltr"><div>---------------------------------------------------------------<br><span>Joly MacFie <span title="Call with Google Voice"><span title="Call with Google Voice"><a href="tel:218%20565%209365" value="+12185659365" target="_blank">218 565 9365</a></span></span> Skype:punkcast</span><br>--------------------------------------------------------------<br>-</div></div></div>
