CETF Broadband Survey
The California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF) sponsors the Annual Survey on Broadband Adoption in California to help inform policymakers and regulators. The results of the 2016 Annual Survey show steady progress and sobering challenges to reach all communities in California and to get the most disadvantaged residents connected. Because local government leaders are crucial to informing State elected officials and formulating public policy, the CETF urges rural leaders to take a few minutes to provide their anonymous feedback. The feedback will be compiled and shared with policymakers to augment the 2016 Annual Survey.
