What are the variety of policy approaches for promoting and funding connectivity in these countries? Which intermediaries are involved in these initiatives? What results have emerged? This paper will leverage a comparative approach to identify and assess the modalities, intermediaries and expenditure profiles (private-public) to promote rural broadband connectivity. |
