| Abstract | Communications can play an important role in rural development. Especially promising are programs to reduce the cost of transportation and to extend services to dispersed rural populations, especially education, health, and entertainment services. There is a strong presumptive case that broadband communications can do a great deal to promote rural development. However, to be effective communications systems must be geared to the realities of rural conditions. As in other service areas, the communication systems have strong urban orientations which must be changed if these systems are to be useful for rural people. In addition to the need to gear development programs to the special realities of rural places, a rural development policy must be based on a number of other considerations. Among these is the need for a national balanced growth and full employment strategy and a rural development policy that will moderate inflationary pressures and facilitate the achievement of full employment. This paper aims to establish the basis for a discussion of the usefulness of broadband communications for rural development by discussing some of the main characteristics and trends in rural development and outlining some of the public and private rural development mechanisms.
