California Bills Tackle Digital Divide

One of the leaders in the movement to close the digital divide is Sunne Wright McPeak, president and CEO of the California Emerging Technology Fund. She praised Padilla and Bradford for their legislation. “The most vulnerable Californians are further disadvantaged if they do not have broadband access or do not have the requisite devices and skills to get connected,” McPeak said. “The digital divide is just another manifestation of the economic divide and opportunity divide.”
