Bridging the Digital Divide - Broadband and Computer Access for Everyone

Sponsored by People Incorporated of Virginia, this public forum is intended to receive feedback about how to bridge the digital divide. The goal is to identify barriers accessing and using broadband services as well as the knowledge and access gaps that may prevent local residents from using computers or other digital devices. Information collected will help shape Virginia's Digital Opportunity Plan, which will direct the use of federal dollars in coming years. The goal with this initiative is to make sure that everyone who wants has access to quality, affordable broadband and a device to use. It also means that they know how to effectively use that device and can maintain it.
