Broadband Lessons Learned in 2020

2020 is not a year we'll want to remember, but it is also a year we'll never forget. For advocates of universal, open, affordable broadband, the tragedies that unfolded this year only increased our resolve: everyone needs to be able to use High-Performance Broadband to survive and thrive in the 21st century. We can't wait any longer to make universal broadband a reality. We need a national agenda to fill the gaps for those who can't yet access the most important communications technology of our time. In 2020, the Benton Institute for Broadband & Society released a number of reports with a common goal: to help us better identify the divides that prevent too many from making use of the infrastructure of opportunity, which plays such a vital role in building strong communities.
