Affordable Internet Access Programs
Digital Equity Partnership
We are committed to working with non-profits and those that provide access or services to low-income or underserved members of the community by helping connect diverse people and communities with broadband access. While the Internet has become a necessity to navigate society today, many members of our community are being left behind as the majority of services and communications have moved online. Without reliable Internet access and digital equity, far too many people are not afforded the same opportunities as those who do have access to Internet connectivity.
By partnering with public, private, and non-profit organizations that provide services to low-income or undeserved communities, we are able to help ensure that more people, regardless of ethnicity, gender, age, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, and background, have the opportunity to access the Internet.
