The Pelican initiative
The Pelican Initiative is a knowledge sharing network established in 2002 by five organizations to facilitate multi-stakeholder discussions on evidence-based learning and communication for development. It uses an email discussion group and website to connect almost 350 members, including researchers, evaluators, policymakers, and practitioners.
The initiative takes a structured approach to discussions, focusing on one topic over 2 months with case studies and summaries. Discussion topics aim to promote three types of learning: for policy change, within and across organizations, and in multi-stakeholder alliances. Facilitators encourage participation, provide technical support, and share their own views, but the network's growth relies primarily on existing members.

Proper networking involves introducing oneself memorably, listening to and helping other members, following up on connections, and supporting one's network through ongoing engagement and credibility.

The document provides guidance on running a competition to develop digital solutions to local challenges. It discusses:
1. Opening up the development process by applying techniques to stimulate ideas, showing emerging ideas to build momentum, and helping people help each other develop solutions.

Colin Rhinesmith - New Approaches to Bridging the Digital Divide - GCS16
This document summarizes a presentation on new approaches to bridging the digital divide. It found that digital inclusion organizations use a four-part strategy: providing low-cost broadband, digital literacy training, low-cost computers, and public computing centers. These organizations connect to broader city initiatives but few use outcomes evaluation. Addressing digital divide requires understanding how poverty limits broadband adoption and emphasizing human connections over technology access alone. Recommendations include addressing ability to pay over willingness, sustaining inclusion programs, and developing evaluation frameworks.

Presentation report summary 130423
This document summarizes a report on effective technology inclusion interventions. It includes chapters on different community initiatives like community media centers, neighborhood ICT centers, and public WiFi. The key findings are that volunteers are very important but need better support, organizations should collaborate by seeking each other out, there is untapped knowledge around community organizations, technology can help organizations as well as communities, organizations represent communities but need to better listen to them, and the social and financial value provided by organizations needs more recognition. The document provides recommendations for digital media centers, such as using social media, writing project summaries, sharing them online, connecting with other relevant organizations, and charging for services when appropriate.

Discovering The Value Of Social Networks and Communities of Practice
There has been much written about measuring the value of online communities such as Social Networks or Communities of Practice. However, most pundits tend to think of measuring value from a purely financial perspective, i.e. the Return on Investment (ROI). Clearly this is an important factor, but it’s not the only factor that should be considered

Adoption challenges in rural minnesota, BBTF March 2022.pptx
Rural areas of Minnesota have significantly less access to broadband internet than urban areas, with 94.2% of unserved and 93.3% of underserved households being in rural locations. Rural communities tend to be older, poorer, and less educated compared to urban areas. There are three main challenges to broadband adoption in rural Minnesota: accessing devices, affording internet services due to high monthly fees, and developing digital literacy skills, with organizations trying to address the third leg of skills and support.

Farm Fresh Broadband
This document summarizes the background and key arguments of a book analyzing federal and state policies regarding subsidization, deployment, and regulation of broadband in rural communities. The author is an Associate Professor who researched the topic through a policy analysis of over 10,000 pages of documents, 90 interviews, and site visits. The book argues that rural broadband policy is both incomplete and broken, failing to bring affordable, high-speed broadband to rural areas due to regulatory capture and prioritizing large internet providers. It also highlights some local success stories of communities connecting themselves with the help of cooperatives or local ISPs. The conclusions call for a national rural broadband plan, recognizing the importance of local broadband, and ensuring history does not repeat itself in
Rural Newcomer Telecommuters
This document summarizes a study on rural workforce movers and telecommuters. It finds that 21% of rural households have someone who telecommutes. Telecommuters are more likely to be married, have larger households, and higher incomes. Respondents moved for slower pace of life, safety, and lower costs. However, many noted poor broadband access as a challenge to remaining in their communities or telecommuting. The study aims to help communities understand and attract telecommuters.
Connected mn mn blandin broadband conference 10-13-21
Connected Minnesota is working to expand access to high-speed internet, distance learning, and supportive services across Minnesota.

Connected Minnesota has also convened stakeholders through a Digital Equity Roundtable and uses a community-informed approach that centers decision making with communities and adapts solutions to their specific needs.
Surveys, Data and Stories to Inform Policy and Investment
This document summarizes broadband access surveys from four rural Minnesota communities. Over 2,600 surveys were completed, with 25% of respondents indicating they only have cellular internet or no internet access at all. The top reasons for lack of access were no services being offered at their location or prices being too high. Respondents said they would use better broadband for education, work, communication, and entertainment. Stories from residents provided personal accounts of struggles with slow, unreliable, or expensive existing services like satellite that don't support needs like work-from-home VPN access or uploading school assignments. Community leaders are encouraged to consider these resident experiences and priorities when making broadband policy and investment decisions.
Community approaches to broadband in Minnesota
Community-led broadband solutions can bring competition, lower prices, and faster internet speeds to underserved areas. They also create local jobs and support new businesses by involving stakeholders, using creative funding, and working with neighbors through grassroots and transparent efforts. Successful community broadband requires smart construction policies and cooperation across an array of groups.

Most rely on internet providers to make upgrades but have limited ability to influence them. Funding sources for improvements include grants, ARPA funds, and partnerships between jurisdictions and providers. Addressing equity of access and affordability were also raised as ongoing issues.
