Today, an internet connection is essential for school, work, and communicating with friends and family. While broadband service is available to most Americans, too many families remain without service. The cable industry is dedicated to closing the digital divide by building out networks and offering wi-fi hotspots, wired community centers, and discounted service for low-income families.
