Digital Divide Reports and Broadband Mapping Updates
This new legislation aims to better understand and reduce the problem of limited high-speed internet access in the U.S. Through regular reports and updated maps, citizens and policymakers will gain a clearer picture of where internet access is needed and how government programs are helping. This will aid in planning efforts to ensure everyone has internet access.
Key points
Annual Digital Divide Reports: These reports will show who lacks internet access, why, and how government programs are helping.
Improved Broadband Maps: Maps will be updated more frequently with new data, including internet speeds, poverty areas, and historically disadvantaged communities, to help identify areas needing support.
Increased Transparency: Information will be publicly available, and input from citizens and experts will be considered when creating reports.
