Quotable

“The internet also can’t help to promote diverse voices if those voices can’t get online. Or is the audiences they hope to serve aren’t online. Diversity is directly linked to broadband access and affordability. Internet inequality is persistent, and it disproportionately affects low-income Americans and communities of color. We need to continue to work towards broadband for all, not just so that diverse communities have access to diverse voices, but so that hey might become those voices.”
– FCC commish Geoffrey Starks at the Williams & Connolly Celebration of Diversity
