Conclusion

NTIA and other federal agencies have undertaken significant efforts to improve program alignment since the May 2022 publication of GAO 22-104611, Broadband: National Strategy Needed to Guide Federal Efforts to Reduce Digital Divide. More work, however, can be done, both by Congress and the Executive Branch, to ensure federal funding for broadband access, adoption, and availability is used efficiently and enables the common goal of closing the digital divide.
