Although core physical infrastructure, such as transportation, is associated with the economic vitality of regions, the relationship between telecommunications infrastructure and high-tech economic development is relatively unexplored at the local level. This assessment explores the linkage between local high-tech growth and the capacity of telecommunications infrastructure in cities located in four metropolitan areas. The empirical results are contrary to conventional thought, indicating that a city with greater high-tech growth is likely to have less telecommunications infrastructure capacity. Although the paucity of local data on telecommunications infrastructure and the complexity of such empirical analysis affect the findings, the research serves as a foundation for future analysis of local high-tech economies and telecommunications infrastructure.
