Big Sky Broadband Workshop
NTIA, through the BroadbandUSA program, will hold a regional broadband summit, ‘‘Big Sky Broadband Workshop,’’ to share information to help communities build their broadband capacity and utilization.
NTIA is working to increase broadband Internet adoption in the United States, which will help more Americans compete in the 21st century economy. NTIA's initiatives include an annual nationwide survey and report on broadband use, which can inform efforts to close the digital divide, and DigitalLiteracy.gov, a website with resources for teaching and learning computer and online skills.
