\r\nPreliminary research indicates that broadband fiber results in about 5% increase\r\nin property values for connected houses.\r\nThis would indicate that an MSA wanting to profit from broadband should want\r\nto deploy it as widely as possible, especially in new housing.\r\nHm, what’s the Homebuilders’ Association’s position on this?\r\n

\r\nThe authors took many variables into account, thus isolating the broadband effect.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nOf course correlation is not causality, and this study was from only three\r\nMSAs\r\nin nine counties in New York State for 2011;\r\nnonetheless the results are quite suggestive.\r\n<\/p>\r\n

\r\nThe study didn’t include wireless broadband access such as 4G LTE.\r\nThe presenting author said he would look into data to do that in the future.\r\n
