The aim of the article is to determine what a local Digital Agenda (DA) implies for ICT development at the local level and how such a policy can be realised in practice. The topic is discussed in relation to the EU and Swedish Digital Agendas, which have motivated the definition of a local DA for the examined Swedish municipality of Linköping. An analytical model is used both to examine the balance of supply-side and demand-side policies of the local DA, and in an attempt to determine what a local DA implies for local ICT development. The empirical material shows that local policy focused on supply-side strategies towards households and businesses, while demand-side policy was present to a greater extent in the management of the municipality’s own operations. The local authority has provided a major expansion in broadband infrastructure to rural areas of the municipality. This complies with mandates from local authorities to manage local infrastructure development and services to the local population. The authors conclude that the policy implications of the results suggest that although operations through the local DA are substantial, complementary measures to support increasing demands across households and businesses are important when dealing with challenges of uneven access and underutilisation of the large investments for ICT infrastructure.

本文的目的是确定本地数字议程（DA）对本地的ICT发展意味着什么，以及如何在实践中实现这种政策。讨论了与欧盟和瑞典数字议程有关的主题，这些主题激发了被考察的瑞典林雪平市的本地DA的定义。分析模型既可用于检验本地DA的供方和需求方政策之间的平衡，也可用于确定本地DA对本地ICT发展的含义。经验材料表明，地方政策侧重于针对家庭和企业的供应方战略，而需求方政策则更多地出现在市政当局自身运营的管理中。地方当局已将宽带基础设施的主要业务扩展到了该市的农村地区。这符合地方当局的授权，以管理当地基础设施的开发和为当地居民提供的服务。作者得出结论，结果的政策含义表明，尽管通过本地发展议程进行的运营相当可观，但在应对接入不均和信息通信技术基础设施的大量投资利用不足的挑战时，支持家庭和企业不断增长的需求的补充措施很重要。
