The Internet Innovation Alliance is a broad-based coalition of business and non-profit organizations that aim to ensure every American, regardless of race, income or geography, has access to the critical tool that is broadband Internet. The IIA seeks to promote public policies that support equal opportunity for universal broadband availability and adoption so that everyone, everywhere can seize the benefits of the Internet - from education to health care, employment to community building, civic engagement and beyond.

Some Good News Out of Ohio

By Brad

Via Cincinnati.com, the “2011 Residential Technology Assessment” from the organization Connect Ohio finds that while the state’s digital divide is still in place — especially among the poor — the gap is closing:

Statewide, home broadband adoption increased to 66 percent from 55 percent in 2008. The 2011 rate is above the national average of 63 percent.

While the report also finds a third of Ohio homes still don’t have access — despite 80% owning a computer — it’s good to see the state moving in the right direction.
