I sent an email to all Task Force participants with the funding request. If your organization can help that would be great. If your organization can’t help, or if you know of other organizations that might provide funding, please forward our email to them and/or let me know and I will contact them. Thanks for your help.

Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic the world is creating the largest telecommunity of all time. Social and physical distancing is becoming the new normal requiring unpresented demand for digital access for all Arizona communities including tribal, rural and other underserved communities and low-income neighborhoods in Arizona.
AZBSN, the Arizona Broadband Stakeholder Network, led by ATIC, the Arizona Telecommunications and Information Council, GAZEL, the Greater Arizona Educational Leadership organization, in cooperation with many other stakeholder organizations, have created an AZBSN COVID-19 Digital Access Task Force. |
What Is Digital Access
Digital access is more than just access to fast affordable and reliable Internet access. Everyone, especially students, also require access to technology such as computers, laptops, and smart phones as well as other digital equipment such as routers, hotspots, and web cameras. They also need digital content resources and skills to effectively use technology. |
