Four factors of rural economies are isolated: control over commerce, industries, jobs and taxes.
New Economy industries have taken this control away from rural counties, unstabilizing their tax base and lowering their quality of life.
Broadband is found as a catalyst which accelerates the New Economy by facilitating high-
speed, real-time data transfer. The facilitation of IT integration by broadband is the major source of
New Economy industry effects on rural counties.
IT tools and processes of current industry leaders such as Wal-Mart, Dell and UPS are isolated.
As well, communities which have implemented their own broadband solutions to the above adverse
effects are examined for ideas to bring rural counties back the ability to control these four factors.
Finally, a plan to level the playing field and restore control based on what we’ve learned is
outlined in broad strokes. Such a plan can give rural counties a chance to learn about guiding their own
course on this New Economy river.
