I agree that something needs to be changed for Internet equality but does all of that need to fall to government funding? What about the ISP's who've been getting fat all these years selling the same bandwidth over and over. It's evident now as all of our nation is connecting concurrently that this is in fact happening. I would like to see the ISP's offer more resonable rates to everyone!

Rural areas are the worst for convenient access to wifi. There are not public wifi areas.

Proficiency for students is dropping for those students who do not have home internet. They are not keeping up with other students. Help keep the playing field fair.

We are a Head Start agency, we really need to have our kids connected so that they will be able to continue with the education that we are teaching them. Most of our parents are rural and they are low-income. Most are not able to afford to get the high cost internet for their homes.

We are working on a solution right now for a district that has 80% of the families without home internet. The Universal Service issue has greatly improved because of E-Rate funds, now it's time to tackle the digital divide.

Expanding access to families continues to be a challenge in rural areas. Additional funding for Internet connections to ensure access and equity in learning is vital. Thank you for your consideration!

This is so important. Internet access is very expensive and limited in rural Wisconsin.

Please support Internet access at home. Most of our students do not have Internet and devices at home. Many do not even have working phone access. We currently are trying to do our best just to stay connected to our students. Without at home access our student are at a great disadvantage and are not receiving online learning opportunities,

Getting access for the kids to continue their education is crucial! Families without a connection are the ones most likely to be financially distressed further by our current situation - and therefore unable to provide a connection out of pocket. The continued education of our young people now is a critical component to the recovery of our society later.
