OUR MISSION

Internet Access
Isn’t a Luxury,
It’s a Necessity

Without high-speed Internet access at home, Americans can’t send their children to school, work remotely, or access healthcare, job training, the social safety net, or critical government services. EducationSuperHighway’s mission is to close the digital divide for the 17 million households that have access to the Internet but can’t afford to connect. We focus on America’s most unconnected communities, where more than 25% of people don’t have Internet.

DATA, TOOLS & RESOURCES  

BEAD Can Close The Digital Divide In MDUs

20-25% of the digital divide is concentrated in affordable multi-dwelling units (MDUs). The Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) Challenge Process allows states to maximize the number of buildings eligible for funding to quickly and cost-effectively close this digital divide.

A HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY TO CLOSE  

The Broadband Affordability Gap

Approximately 28.2 million of the 122.8 million households in the United States do not have high-speed broadband.
Nearly two-thirds of unconnected households have access to a home broadband connection but are offline because they cannot afford to connect. Closing this broadband affordability gap has become a national priority. 

Free Apartment Wi-Fi Programs

Data, tools, and resources to help states close the digital divide for 6.5 million Americans living in affordable apartment buildings.
