Cleveland approves $20 million upgrade in broadband infrastructure to bridge digital divide
Bridging the digital divide in Ohio has been a long time coming, especially in Cleveland.
“I think if anything, the pandemic is really shown the need,” said Bryan Mauk, Chief Innovation Officer for PC’s for People.
Mauk and his team help provide computers, internet access and digital literacy support for those in need.
“The last 18 months, we distributed computers and Internet to serve 25,000 people in Cleveland and over 50% of them never owned a computer before in their lives or households,” he said.
