The roles of some antecedents of broadband user behavioural intention among students in the rural areas through PLS-SEM
The insufficient broadband enabled-services in the rural areas have been identified among the reasons that prolong the behaviour of rural dwellers on the use of low-band internet while government agencies have started initiations to increase the use of broadband in the rural area.However, previous s...
