ACP in the 313: Closing Detroit’s Digital Divide

This blogpost by New America focuses on the City of Detroit’s success in implementing the ACP, demonstrating how effective the program can be in helping to bridge the digital divide and providing some lessons for how other cities can increase adoption.
