Abstract
Utilization is a key aspect in the management of any societal resource not only when it is scarce but in all cases to allow
for optimum benefits to be accrued to everyone in the society. Internet bandwidth, which is a rare commodity especially in ru ral
areas is hardly available where needed at the same cost and quality due to various reasons. Tanzania as a case study is among
countries that have invested much in international, national and metro backbone networks, but still, there are areas without or with
inadequate internet access services implying a significant utilization problem. In this paper, we present as a case study, the status of
broadband connectivity in selected rural areas in Tanzania (Arusha) and the status is used to make recommendations for optimized
utilization of installed capacity.
