These projects increased house prices by an average of 2.5 percent after all projects were approved. The estimated benefits of these projects totaled $2.0 billion, 2.8 times the investment costs. We found larger benefits per house for higher cost projects and projects promoting fiber‐to‐the‐household or DSL technology than for wireless projects, but similar positive benefits per house in metropolitan, micropolitan, and small town/rural regions. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
