Bridging the Divide: Answering Internet Policy Questions with Cutting-Edge Network Measurement Algorithms, Datasets, and Platforms

To bridge the divide between researchers and policymakers working to close the digital divide, this workshop aims to bring together experts from both domains. The goal is to catalyze new ideas, collaborations, and solutions to counter internet inequity within the US and beyond. Specifically, the workshop aims to coalesce on measurements that can serve as viable challenges to the FCC Broadband map, effectively unlocking $45 billion in funding for historically or intentionally underserved areas. The workshop will convene leaders from academia, industry, and government to define and discuss pressing policy questions. They will use the tools and methods familiar (and new) to the network measurement community to launch a new collaborative approach to solving these challenges, thereby addressing inequity in internet access.

Attendance at this workshop is by invitation only.
