The quality of rural informatization construction is often constrained by the state of rural information infrastructure. Therefore, effectively promoting the construction of rural information infrastructure is crucial for enhancing the level of rural informatization. However, due to the numerous and complex technical indicators of rural information infrastructure, there is a lack of study specifically focusing on which indicators should be prioritized for construction and which indicators can be temporarily postponed to save costs. This study adopts a method of literature synthesis and comparison to address these issues. Through the study, it is found that the technical indicators that researchers generally focus on are Data Transmission Rate and Network Coverage; while the technical indicators that researchers pay less attention to mainly include Network Management Level, Data Management Level, and Online Service Level, among others. Additionally, the study explores other related issues. The findings of this study can provide fundamental decision-making support for many countries' rural information infrastructure construction.
