"NDIA is taking the extraordinary step of suing the federal government for the 30k people who were counting on our Digital Navigator + program to support them in submitting job applications, accessing telehealth, attending classes, & staying safe online." buff.ly/8rMGHXS

In order to support broadband adoption and digital skilling, new funding models must be identified, which hinges on contributions from the #digitalinclusion research community. Read Angela Siefer's and Sam Schartman's insights in Broadband Breakfast: broadbandbreakfast.com/samantha-schar…

Congress gave states the right to spend their non-deployment dollars to support the adoption of the networks BEAD is building. Any “savings” from the new rules should stay with the states to ensure residents can safely use these new networks. statescoop.com/leftover-bead-…

The decision to unilaterally end funding for internet broadband services is both illegal & morally wrong. Read my letter to the Trump Admin demanding they reverse their reckless termination of the Digital Equity Act grants—which are vital to closing the digital divide in Georgia.

NDIA applauds the State of New York and Governor Hochul for stepping forward and funding digital inclusion efforts with state dollars. Now, NY organizations will have the resources they need to keep people connected. governor.ny.gov/news/governor-…
