The digital divide in North America is leaving millions without adequate broadband. Incumbents operate in “islands” of connectivity, serving densely populated areas and, at a national scale, perpetuating the digital divide in the gaps in between their service footprints. Regional ISPs have a clear role in closing that gap.

Congress has tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with the oversight and management of commercial spectrum. However, past disputes have demonstrated the importance of strong leadership at the National Telecommunications and Information Administration and the FCC to ensure coordinated agency management of this important resource. This coordination will become even more important as developing technologies lead to better spectrum sharing in the future.

Appalachian communities see connectivity as key to economic revitalization. Yet today, only 21% of people living in the region’s most distressed counties have high-speed internet connections in their homes. The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) is working to change that by investing roughly $30M/year on broadband projects in the region, while also helping communities prepare for the $65B freight train of federal funding heading their way.

TPI Aspen brings together experts across business, industry, and government to discuss how tech policy and regulation impact daily life. Through panel discussions and fireside chats, participants discuss experiences with tech policy—what worked, what did not, what we still need to understand, and how policy can make technology work for everyone.
