“…Emerging data sources, such as the broadband fabric, hold the potential to significantly elevate the utility of ABMs by providing more granular geospatial information [ 65 ]. Incorporating surveys to initialize the ABM could be invaluable [ 66 , 67 ]. For instance, discrete choice experiments have proven effective in ascertaining consumer preferences regarding e-groceries in urban settings [ 68 ], solar PV adoption in New Zealand [ 69 ], and the availability of wood in Swiss markets [ 70 ].…”

Demand for broadband internet has far outpaced its availability. In addition, the “new normal” imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic has further disadvantaged unserved and underserved areas. To address this challenge, federal and state agencies are funding internet service providers (ISPs) to deploy broadband infrastructure in these areas. To support goals to provide broadband service to as many people as possible as quickly as possible, policymakers and ISPs may benefit from better tools to predict take rates and formulate effective strategies to increase the adoption of high-speed internet. However, there is typically insufficient data available to understand consumer attitudes. We propose using an agent-based model grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior, a behavioral theory that explains the consumer’s decision-making process. The model simulates residential broadband adoption by capturing the effect of market competition, broadband service attributes, and consumer characteristics. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this type of tool via a use case in Missouri to show how simulation results can inform predictions of broadband adoption. In the model, broadband take rates increase as the presence of existing internet users in the area increases and price decreases. With further development, this type of simulation can guide decision-making for infrastructure and digital literacy investment based on demand as well as support the design of market subsidies that aim to reduce the digital divide.

The influence of artificial intelligence technology, infrastructure, and human resource competence on Internet access networks has been examined in a scientific publication, which is the outcome of a literature review in the information systems sector. The purpose of this study is to generate an influence hypothesis related to factors that can be applied in further investigations. The research's subjects include academic media, Google Scholar, Mendeley, and online libraries. Publicly accessible e-books and e-journals are the source of the research methodology that makes use of library institution searches. The following is a descriptive qualitative analysis of this article's findings: The influence of artificial intelligence technology on networks for Internet access, the influence of infrastructure on networks for Internet access, and the Influence of HR Competency on Internet Access Networks. Research findings regarding the impact of advances in infrastructure, human resource competence, and artificial intelligence technology on internet network access include improving user experience, extensive network scalability, increasing network efficiency and security, as well as increasing human resource knowledge and developing network architecture research findings regarding the impact of advances in infrastructure, human resource competence, and artificial intelligence technology on internet network access include improving user experience, extensive network scalability, increasing network efficiency and security, as well as increasing human resource knowledge and developing network architecture.

“…E-governance can enhance efficiency in local tax revenue collection by implementing online taxation to achieve good governance (Noviyanti, Raka, & Larantika, 2021). Broadband internet access is paramount in supporting economic activities as the variety of economic activities directly impacts the quantity of taxes gathered (Valentín-Sívico, 2020). Hypothesis 6: GRDP in the information and communication sector as a moderator in the relationship between the use of ICT and local taxes and levies.…”

Purpose: This study aims to investigate whether the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of the information and communication sector mediates the relationship between Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development and local tax revenue enhancement across districts and municipalities in Indonesia. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study uses a quantitative approach to examine how ICT growth, access, infrastructure and utilization affect local taxes and regional levies using panel data from 2017 to 2021.The GRDP of the information and communication sector is incorporated as a crucial moderating variable. Findings: The findings reveal that the GRDP of the information and communication sector plays a vital moderating role in the relationships between ICT factors and local taxes and levies. ICT development benefits local tax systems through increased efficiency, transparency, reduced disparities and enhanced accessibility. Effective ICT infrastructure enables digital fiscal transactions, increasing revenues while improving collection efficiency and reducing income disparities among provinces. High ICT utilization supported by technological proficiency enables local governments to enhance local taxes and levies. Practical Implications: An increase in the GRDP of the information and communication sector leads to higher tax revenues for local governments, funding public services and infrastructure development. Additionally, it attracts investments from other sectors, boosting regional levies and promoting overall regional economic development. The study highlights leveraging the GRDP of this sector as a strategic factor to enhance local tax revenue and regional levies across Indonesian provinces contributing to fiscal decentralization efforts.
