New Report on Rural Communities and Digital Device Ownership

A recent report looks at the digital device ownership issue from a rural perspective.  Recent data shows that rural residents are less likely to (1) own a desktop or laptop computer, (2) participate in the Affordable Connectivity Program, and (3) have access to computer repair services.  The report breaks the rural-oriented difficulties into 3 distinct categories:  Status Quo, Supply, and Support – and cites recent studies discussing the challenges in each.  The report concludes with recommendations for helping rural America address these issues.
