NTCA: Working for Broadband Adoption

 

 
NTCA members are advancing broadband adoption within their communities through many initiatives. From partnering with local schools to providing community hot spots, NTCA members work to ensure greater access to the Internet, reduce barriers to access and increase users knowledge and skills. Broadband adoption impacts a wide range of consumers and institutions. Rural schools, businesses, hospitals and public safety groups are all dependent on technological advance- ment and broadband in one way or another. NTCA recently hosted the broadband adoption summit and continues to support initiatives to advance broadband adoption. Visit the Broadband Adoption Gallery below to learn more about how NTCA members are advancing broadband within their own communities.
