Introduction
The Imperial Valley Economic Development Corporation (IVEDC) formed the Southern Border Broadband Consortium (SBBC) utilizing an initiative from the California Advanced Services Fund (CASF) along with representatives from all economic sectors to help improve the availability and adoption of affordable broadband technology among “disconnected” citizens located in unserved and underserved areas of Imperial and San Diego counties. The SBBC assesses the needs for broadband internet, and facilitates sharing the data with telecom companies to fulfill those needs.
