FCC recognises the digital divide in indigenous communities

FCC chairman, Ajit Pai, acknowledged that more needs to be done to close the digital divide in indigenous communities in a speech to a conference of the National Congress of American Indians. Among the steps the FCC is taking to close that divide are the $6 billion invested in the Connect America and Mobility Fund subsidies for broadband in unserved areas, including tribal lands, and $340 million to bring 4G LTE to tribal lands.
