“…The research question of this paper is, what are the factors that explain the relationship between broadband access and affordability? The extant research has focused on broadband adoption in relationship to the urban and rural digital divide ( Oyana, 2011 ; Pereira, 2016 ; Rendon Schneir & Xiong, 2016 ). Our research is different in that we examine the digital divide within a city and identify significant differences in access intra city related to issues of affordability, while still utilizing the five-factor framework.…”

“…Even in remote locations where the broadband is available, the monthly cost can be higher because building telecommunications networks in rural areas is costly. ( Riddlesden & Singleton, 2014 ), ( Rendon Schneir & Xiong, 2016 ), ( Pereira, 2016 ), ( Oyana, 2011 ), ( Mingliu & Wolff, 2004 ), ( Grubesic, 2004 ). Competition Competition in the telecommunications sector helps make broadband more affordable to its citizens.…”

“…Nevertheless, both incumbents and their competitors have historically focused on the most densely populated areas (Grubesic & Murray, 2004). The economies of scale in broadband provision are a major deterrent to private investment in rural areas (Glass & Stefanova, 2012), which can even experience an internal digital divide due to the excessive costs of connecting geographically dispersed premises (Rendon Schneir & Xiong, 2016). Where the market fails to provide superfast broadband, public intervention is justified to complement private investment (European Commission, 2013), by providing financial support or even developing public networks (Frieden, 2013;Gómez-Barroso & Feijóo, 2009).…”
