FCC Commissioner Starks’ Digital Inclusion Visits

The National Digital Inclusion Alliance is proud to have facilitated digital inclusion visits for newly appointed Federal Communications Commissioner Geoffrey Starks. After he attended a forum on the rural and urban broadband digital divide hosted by Rep Emanuel Cleaver II (D-MO), Commissioner Starks attended a meeting of the Kansas City Coalition for Digital Inclusion, sharing why digital equity is important to him. He stated “Who’s job is it to make sure everyone has internet at home? It’s my job. It’s our job.” Commissioner Starks then visited Connecting For Good’s NE Wyandotte County Computer Center. Within the first 30 days of being in office, Commissioner Starks visited with digital inclusion practitioners. We have a new champion.
