OHB - Community Networks

Bridging the digital divide with TNi — the gap between those with access to information and communication technologies (ICT) and those without — is a multifaceted challenge requiring a comprehensive approach involving governments, private sector entities, non-profit organizations, and communities.

​

Here are some strategies we use to help bridge the digital divide and work with your community:

​

• Expand and improve broadband infrastructure including deploying high-speed internet networks, such as fixed wireless, to ensure reliable and affordable connectivity for all communities.

• Implement affordability programs and work with local entities to make internet access more affordable for low-income individuals and families.

• Offer digital literacy programs and training initiatives via partners like RowdyOrb (Baltimore) to help individuals develop the skills needed to effectively use ICTs.

 

​By adopting a holistic approach that addresses the multiple dimensions of the digital divide, stakeholders can work together to create a more inclusive and equitable digital society where everyone has access to the opportunities and benefits offered by the digital world.
