Congresswoman Eshoo: Fighting to Ensure Every Californian has Access to Opportunity

Internet access is more critical than ever, but many Americans still struggle to get connected – especially in rural areas. Congresswoman Eshoo is working for solutions that will make high-speed internet more accessible and supports policies that will break down barriers to connectivity.

These solutions include:

• Creating a broadband mapping system to make allocation of government resources to unserved areas more efficient. S.1822: Broadband DATA Act (Link)
  
  
• Allocating resources to help families, community institutions, and businesses stay connected or gain access during the pandemic. H.R. 748: Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act” or the CARES Act (Link) and H.R.6201: Families First Coronavirus Response Act (Link)
  
  
• Supporting a transparent, just, and reasonable process that would remove barriers to communications infrastructure investment by ensuring fair allocation of costs. FCC: In the Matter of Accelerating Wireline Broadband Deployment by Removing Barriers to Infrastructure Investment (Link)

Thank Congresswoman Eshoo for her support for policies that will help more Americans gain access to reliable, high-speed internet and for fighting to ensure every Californian has access to opportunity.
