As we work to close the digital divide, thousands of Americans live in non-traditional homes. 17.7 million people (5.6% of the population) live in manufactured homes across the country. Further, 1 million Americans live in recreational vehicles full-time and over 9 million families travel in RVs. That’s nearly 30 million people and families that need access to Gigabit broadband but may be challenged to get fiber. This session with Joe Costello, CEO of Kwikbit Internet, will explore strategies to close the digital divide in these non-traditional environments.

The purpose of these quarterly calls is to update organizations and entities working in the broadband ecosystem with new and updated information about the program.  Our call will feature the following agenda: 

• Welcome and announcements 
• Program Updates from:
  • FCC Outreach Grants Program
  • ACP Housing Pilot Program (“Your Home, Your Internet”) 
  • ACP Mapping Team
• USAC Update
