Connecting Washington to the World
Bridging the Digital Divide
Today, an Internet connection is a must-have for school assignments, healthcare, communicating with friends, finding a job, and starting a business. While broadband service is now available to most Americans, too many families remain unconnected to this important network. The cable industry is committed to closing this digital divide by promoting the benefits of broadband, encouraging families to connect, and by offering programs that help families overcome barriers they may face.
Cable companies are providing discounted Internet services, hardware, digital literacy training, and technology centers across the country to increase accessibility. Here are some great examples:

CHARTER SPECTRUM INTERNET ASSIST
Offering affordable high-speed Internet service across the Charter Spectrum footprint.
