The Bay Area city is making high-speed Internet more accessible with projects focused on affordability and service delivery and aimed at closing the digital divide. A California Public Utilities Commission grant is among the funding sources.
With funding from the State, City, and private donors, a series of four projects in partnership with the City of Oakland, Oakland Housing Authority, and Oakland Unified School District will enhance connectivity for generations to come.
Later this afternoon Oakland leaders will highlight a recent investment to bridge the digital divide in underserved neighborhoods.
