Upcoming event

As states move through the final planning stages of their Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment efforts, it is paramount that they effectively use the $42 billion in taxpayer dollars funding the program. Past subsidy efforts to connect Americans to the internet failed due to ineffective competitive processes, insufficient accountability, and a lack of transparency. AEI’s Broadband Barometer Project seeks to provide resources and information to help states ensure their new efforts succeed in bringing broadband to those lacking access or sufficient capacity.

Across the United States, local and state governments and community organizations are working tirelessly to ensure that residents have the connectivity they need to thrive in 2024.

#OaklandUndivided is committed to sustaining and scaling school and home digital access for Oakland's 50,000+ public school students while simultaneously addressing structural barriers to achieve community wide connectivity for all Oaklanders.

This hearing will focus on how a coordinated and comprehensive approach to domestic spectrum policy is critical to U.S. national security. A unified approach will enable the United States to lead internationally, which will help counter threats like those from Huawei and ZTE.
