The economic impact of telecommunications infrastructure on economic growth is enormous. Studies on the impact of ICT have indicated approximately a third of economic growth can be attributed to telecommunications.
Rural Broadband
Broadband internet has moved from being a luxury to a necessity. According to Avanti Consulting’s research for the UK government there are approximately 250 million potential subscribers world-wide for broadband services in remote and under serviced rural areas. Studies show that regions enabled with broadband benefit from increases to employment by up to 1.4%, growth in the number of companies by 1.2% and increased property values and rents by 6%.
Avanti Consulting is advising governments and international organisations on the best way to connect their most rural and disconnected communities - an imperative all over the world and crucial for securing economic growth. To understand the economic benefits of broadband, see our whitepaper here.
Avanti has developed a comprehensive capability which supports the implementation of universal broadband and we offer consulting services relating to the market; the technologies available for implementation; methods of procurement; definition of broadband delivery projects; practical trials of technology and broadband applications.
