Supporting Small Entities through Investments in the National Infrastructure: Broadband
Access to reliable and affordable broadband service is imperative to not only the success of small businesses, but the overall economic development of the nation. Unfortunately, many parts of the country lack reliable access to broadband at benchmark speeds. As Congress debates an infrastructure plan, investing in the nation’s broadband must be part of the conversation. At this hearing, Members will examine broadband as a critical part of the nation’s infrastructure and strategies to reduce the digital divide.
