Moreover, there has been limited scientific evidence on how broadband adoption matters for collective benefits. Including new data on broadband subscriptions from 2000-2017, and comprehensive analysis for U.S. states, counties, metros, cities, and neighborhoods, 'Choosing the Future' argues that broadband use in the population is a form of digital human capital that benefits communities as well as individuals.
