OPPORTUNITY: Survey on Human Infrastructure of Broadband

An opportunity from Benton Institute for Broadband & Society...

The Benton Institute for Broadband & Society (in partnership with the American Library Association, METRO’s Digital Equity Research Center, and the National Digital Inclusion Alliance) is researching the work of people who help connect others to broadband.  Whether they are called librarians, digital stewards, or digital navigators, they perform a wide range of activities like helping people enroll in low-cost broadband plans, making low-cost computers available, providing digital skills training, or helping people use digital services like telehealth. 

If your organization works on these or related issues, please take our survey!  The data you provide will help us better understand what you do and will contribute to a report that will recommend strategies to sustain this work beyond the current Digital Equity Act investment.  

The survey is available here. Deadline: May 24, 2024. For questions, please email: research@benton.org.
