Access + Affordability + Adoption = Digital Equity
What stands between Alaska and digital equity?
Three factors have already been labeled barriers in Alaska, including:
- Cost – 80% of Alaskans cannot purchase broadband at an affordable price (under $60 a month).
- Remoteness – Alaska's remote communities experience unreliable and/slow internet service.
- Lack of Digital Training – Without the skills to use the technology, people miss out on many digital opportunities.
