Congress Taking Action to Close the Digital Divide
Over $100 billion has been allocated to connect American households through nationwide broadband access. According to Mckinsey and Company, this ambitious public work could spur innovation, create jobs, and launch the country toward a more equitable and prosperous future. In an effort to connect every household, Congress has tasked states with translating federal broadband funding into impact, with oversight from the US Department of Commerce’s National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA).
