The National Telecommunications and Information Administration’s BroadbandUSA team, together with Next Century Cities, a nonprofit initiative of over 100 mayors and community officials dedicated to ensuring the availability of next-generation broadband Internet for all Americans, convened a productive broadband workshop in Portland (ME) to explore ways to close the digital divide and expand broadband capacity throughout the New England region.

The Digital New England Summit brought together about 250 broadband experts, community leaders and state and federal officials, including Sen Angus King (I-ME), for this day-long gathering. NTIA said it appreciates the participation of all the panelists and participants at the Digital New England Summit, and looks forward to continuing the discussion across the country as local communities tackle the challenge of ensuring that all residents have access to advanced telecommunications networks and the skills and resources to take advantage of them.
