Infrastructure, Connectivity, and Digital Inclusion

MMTC focuses on broadband connectivity, adoption, and affordability, as well as education and jobs, digital skills training, and business opportunities in the following nine areas: 

  1. Rural and urban broadband connectivity and deployment, including FCC management of subsidy programs
  2. Telehealth
  3. Universal Service Fund programs – Lifeline, E-Rate, Connect America Fund, and Rural Health Care program; MMTC has proposed a new fund to enable access to capital for marginalized entrepreneurs
  4. Spectrum  –  5G and small cell deployment, with an emphasis on the underserved
  5. Broadband Mapping – setting priorities to identify areas with the most limited access to broadband, with an emphasis on broadband deserts, the Black Belt, rural Hispanic settlements, and Tribal Lands
  6. Broadband stimulus – developing a comprehensive approach to ensuring broadband affordability for lower income families and individuals who are in need, but who are not eligible for Lifeline subsidies
  7. Broadband adoption – supporting initiatives that ensure access and digital literacy training for all (e.g., vouchers, subsidies, low-cost products)
  8. Open internet – FCC authority to support Lifeline broadband service and regulate under Title I
  9. Employment diversity, upskilling, digital skills training, and diverse supply chain
