On Target

Engage and inform the community about County efforts to expand Broadband

Board of Supervisors 2022

Description

Progress Update

Q4-22

In the last quarter of 2022, the Broadband Work Group promoted the Affordable Connectivity Program, which subsidizes internet service for low-income households, to county residents, and will continue doing so in early 2023. We also established a communications plan for promoting the Fixed Availability Service Data and Mobile Availability Service Data challenges to county residents. These data sets show where the FCC believes fixed and mobile service is available all across the country. Correcting any mistakes in the data set will help improve our region's eligibility for future federal broadband funding.

Next Steps

Q4-22

In the first quarter of 2023, we will continue promoting the Affordable Connectivity Program and, if appropriate, continued consumer-level challenges to the Fixed Availability and Mobile Availability Service Data.
