Digital inclusion means that individuals have access to robust broadband connections, Internet-enabled devices that meet their needs; and the skills to explore, create and succeed in the digital world.
BroadbandUSA convenes the Digital Inclusion Leaders Network (DILN), a group of state and local government leaders working to bridge the digital divide. The DILN meets regularly to share best practices, resources, and strategies.
