Digital inclusion is top of mind with states having submitted their Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) initial proposals last month, but community-based broadband providers have deployed digital inclusion strategies long before such efforts were anticipated to respond to regulatory standards. Join NTCA CEO Shirley Bloomfield, Kathryn de Wit from the Pew Charitable Trusts, NTCA Vice President of Policy and Industry Innovation Josh Seidemann and two Smart Rural Community™ providers to learn more about resources available to help communities develop digital equity plans and rural providers’ efforts to ensure ubiquitous access to, and engagement with, robust broadband.
