Hopi Telecommunications, Inc. | Supplement | Second Supplement | Project Data
The Hopi Telecommunications Project studied the effects of subsidy amounts and access to discounted equipment using fixed broadband by making different offers to a control group and three treatment groups. The groups were chosen by random assignment of households. The control group was offered the choice of two speed plans at full price. The treatment groups were each given one of the following offers: a flat subsidy of $39.95 for a 1.5 Mbps plan and a financed refurbished computer, a flat subsidy of $39.95 for a 3 Mbps plan and a financed refurbished computer, or a flat subsidy of $39.95 and a choice of either speed but no discounted computer.
