State Broadband Offices

State Broadband Offices are government agencies at the state level responsible for planning, coordinating, and promoting high-speed internet access across their states. They work to identify areas lacking reliable service, develop strategies to expand connectivity, and often collaborate with federal programs, telecom providers, and local communities. Their goal is to ensure all residents and businesses have affordable, high-quality internet, supporting economic growth, education, healthcare, and digital inclusion. By managing resources and implementing policies, State Broadband Offices help bridge the digital divide and improve overall internet infrastructure within their states.
