What is a digital asset inventory and why does it matter? SCEC and its coalition partners are creating a digital equity plan for Washington County.

The coalition is asking for your knowledge about schools, libraries, and organizations that provide free internet access, free or low cost computers, free/low cost classes on how to use your device, free/low cost business start-up courses, and more.

NO information is too small, or unimportant. Does your library have free internet and computers? Does your town have a Wi-Fi hotspot?

Representing hundreds of organizations, dozens of communities and thousands of internet users - MBC is the hub of information, policy support, and capacity building around broadband/high speed internet in Maine.
