While digital infrastructure is about networks and subscriptions, digital equity describes a goal we can accomplish. Digital inclusion describes 'how' we can reduce the digital divide. Four basic inclusion objectives are; i) affordability, ii) digital literacy, iii) public internet access, and iv) digital equity across town stakeholder groups. The broadband committee, working with town members and the National Digital Equity Center (NDEC) has written a plan to mitigate barriers and provide supports for digital inclusion for the whole town. A link to the Plan is at the top of the page. Tell us what you think and how we can make it better.
