dc.description.abstractAvailability, access and use of broadband tends to generate direct benefits for families and businesses at a micro and macro level. However, in developing countries the real impact that broadband deployment may have on economic growth remains to be seen, as broadband becomes economically relevant only when there is a critical mass of diffusion or adoption. Results of this study indicate a positive relationship between broadband and proxies for economic activity for three (3) different levels of download speed. The plan ‘Vive Digital’ addresses just one aspect of the policy measures needed to widen the impact of broadband in Colombia.en
