Fiber broadband delivers economic benefits to communities, but how much of an uplift does the technology deliver to rural areas? A peer-reviewed economic study released on September 30, 2024, “Beyond Connectivity: The Role of Broadband in Rural Economic Growth and Resilience” by the nonprofit Center on Rural Innovation (CORI) provides evidence that fiber-fed broadband experiences enabled by local providers in those communities deliver a significant economic impact to better connected areas while enabling access to additional services that allow users to effectively leverage that resource. Meanwhile, comparable unserved communities experience economic stagnation with a loss of jobs, businesses, and population.
