The Digital Divide

Whether due to physical access, lack of technical support structures or prohibitive costs, 24% of Americans remain unconnected. While broadband access has increased from 2% of the national population in 2000 to 39% in 2006, areas with sparse populations or lower average incomes remain either unserved or underserved.

Although more people are online everyday, using more and more bandwidth, the divide endures. It is expensive to be poor, and the persistent divide ensures that the most current technology tools are not being adopted by the communities and individuals who need them most.

Why Elauwit?

With 24% of the American population unconnected, the need for broadband infrastructure is real and vast. While the broadband stimulus package addresses these needs, the funding still has to reach your community in order to affect local change. Elauwit Solutions is able to make sure that the face of your community does not get blurred in the crowd.

Elauwit believes that the earlier one acts in the grant process, the stronger the application. In addition, the pooling of smaller budgets and applications fosters a sense of purpose and creates a more cohesive proposal. The group serves the individual.
