The Digital Equity Landscape: Updates and Insights

People need proper skills and technology to participate in the digital economy. But today, millions of households don't have access to broadband infrastructure, may face affordability challenges or lack the digital literacy that can connect them to well-paying jobs.

Fortunately, steps are being taken to improve access across the country.

This presents an exciting opportunity for the public sector to transform its processes and make services more accessible and efficient.
