"State of Broadband Equity in Boston" Report Commissioned
Mayor Kim Janey, in partnership with the City’s Department of Innovation & Technology, today announced a partnership to document the availability, cost and quality of broadband internet services in Boston. The State of Broadband Equity in Boston report will identify broadband offerings by neighborhood and identify any service opportunities or disparities within the city.
“The last 18 months have underscored that internet access is a public good. In those places where high quality broadband has been affordable and accessible, it has helped youth stay engaged in school, grandparents connect with their grandchildren, and employees remain productive while apart,” said Mayor Kim Janey. “I want to ensure that every resident - regardless of zip code, age or income - has access to quality choices to get online.”
