States will use this funding to implement their digital equity plans, which outline how they will empower individuals and communities with the tools and skills necessary to benefit from meaningful access to affordable, reliable, high-speed Internet service.
The Department of Commerce is not only connecting everyone in these states and across the country to quality, affordable high-speed internet, but also making sure they have the tools and skills they need to make the most of that access.
Deploying Digital Navigators to help access online education, health, financial, and government services is key to ensuring equity and wider access to essential online resources.
The awards include $70 million for California, $22 million for Georgia, $15 million for Indiana, and $8 million for New Mexico, emphasizing the federal government's commitment to bridging the digital divide.
