Digital Opportunity

All individuals and communities need to have the opportunity and information technology capacity to fully participate in our society, democracy, and economy. Providing digital opportunity to everyone is necessary for civic and cultural participation, employment, lifelong learning, and access to essential services.

To achieve this goal, everyone needs access to:

• affordable, robust broadband internet service
• appropriate devices that meet the needs of the user
• digital skills training opportunities
• quality technical support
• applications and online content designed to enable and encourage self-sufficiency, participation, and collaboration.
