Infrastructure and the Rural—urban Divide in High-speed Residential Internet Access (2007, background): “In fact, the divide in residential Internet access rates has already been the focus of studies on rural technology gaps and on the potential importance of the Internet for rural economies (Strover 2001; Malecki 2003).”

Effectiveness of using learner‐centered principles on student retention in distance education courses in rural schools (2008, background): “Distance education via the Internet has become an acceptable option in rural schools as a result of improvements in the necessary infrastructure, affordability of technology, and near universal connectivity (Hobbs, 2004; Jimerson, 2006; Malecki, 2003).”

Waiting for Broadband: Local Competition and the Spatial Distribution of Advanced Telecommunication Services in the United States (2004, background): “…and Murray 2002).7 Although this does not necessarily exclude rural areas, the cost of upgrading infrastructure and providing high-speed service does increase in more remote locations while the opportunity to build economies of scale decreases (Egan 1996; Malecki 2003; Strover 2001; Grubesic 2003).”

Farm diversification, entrepreneurship and technology adoption : analysis of upland farmers in Wales (2017, background): “This is creating a digital divide (Townsend et al., 2013) or rural penalty (Malecki, 2003).”
The digital vicious cycle: Links between social disadvantage and digital exclusion in rural areas (2007, background): “A second reason for a rural perspective is that benefits of online communication in the countryside may be relatively greater than in urban areas, due to barriers of distance to alternatives, and thus the disbenefits of non-adoption—the costs of digital exclusion—that much greater (see, for instance”
Does rural broadband impact jobs and income? Evidence from spatial and first-differenced regressions (2014, background): “Researchers began to explore why broadband adoption rates were lower in rural areas and to suggest what the sources and the implications of these gaps might be (Malecki 2003; Mills and Whitacre 2003; Parker 2000; Strover 2001).”
