Equity in Broadband Access

Equity in broadband access means ensuring all individuals and communities have reliable internet, regardless of where they live, their income level, or social status. It addresses disparities so that everyone can benefit from online resources, education, work opportunities, and communication tools. Achieving equity involves overcoming barriers like high costs, lack of infrastructure, or digital skills, to provide fair and equal access to the internet for all populations, especially underserved or marginalized groups. This promotes social inclusion, economic opportunity, and equal participation in the digital world.
