Fiber for Breakfast 2023 Week 14: Internet for All, Addressing the Digital Equity Gap in the U S
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has three grant programs funded by the bipartisan infrastructure law (https://www.internetforall.gov/program/digital-equity-act-programs). Join us for Fiber for Breakfast as Angela Thi Bennett, Digital Equity Director at NTIA, breaks down the details of the Digital Equity Act, which provided $2.75 billion to establish these grant programs that promote digital equity and inclusion, and why this work is so important and who are most impacted. Angela will also discuss tribal broadband and highlight a request for comment opportunity in the Digital Equity RFC.
