Daily's Hierarchy Of Broadband Needs

Daily's Hierarchy of Broadband Needs will provide a framework within which to focus broadband policies and initiatives. There are four levels to Daily's Hierarchy of Broadband Needs:

1. Availability is the most basic level of a user's broadband needs. Broadband needs to first be available for anyone to use it. Without availability established then none of the other levels matter.
2. Adoption is about getting people to use broadband and covers areas like affordability, value, and starts getting us into issues of education and usability.
3. Utilization relies largely on explaining to people why they should use broadband and how they can do so.
4. Innovation is what holds the key to broadband's limitless potential to encourage community and economic development -- once broadband is available, adopted, and being utilized, we start finding new ways to use broadband to grow opportunity and drive efficiency.
