The MMTC Broadband & Social Justice Summit will highlight three of the greatest priorities in broadband policy today: achieving universal broadband access, adoption and informed use, meeting the nation’s spectrum needs, and using broadband for civic engagement and social justice. Senior policymakers from the White House, Congress, the FCC and industry will engage with civil rights leaders on the direction the nation must take to achieve digital equality and justice online.
