Shaping the Future of Digital Equity: Communicating Your Feedback

The National Telecommunications and Information Administration's (NTIA) $2.75 billion Digital Equity Act Programs are critical for communities in need of access to affordable, reliable, high-speed Internet. Recently, NTIA requested input from our stakeholders through a Request for Comment (RFC). We solicited input and feedback from interested stakeholders across the nation, including Tribal entities, as the agency develops Notices of Funding Opportunity for NTIA’s Digital Equity Capacity Grant and Digital Equity Competitive Grant Programs pursuant to the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).  We received more than 250 submissions reflecting the voices of more than 400 stakeholders. We specifically sought input from those who are most impacted by our Digital Equity Programs to hear their valuable voices. These comments are posted here for public access. NTIA invites everyone to join the vital dialogue on digital equity and share stories, insights, and ideas. More ways to do this can be found here.
