Microsoft Demos State Digital Equity Tool

Microsoft showed its state digital equity scorecard to the FCC Wireline Bureau Friday, the company said Tuesday in docket 22-69. “Microsoft’s objective is to provide state policymakers with tools to better understand their digital equity landscape to better target broadband funding where it is most needed and to help prioritize digital skills training,” it said about the scorecard. Digital skills data should be collected at the state and national levels, said Microsoft. The company plans to update the dashboard after the FCC releases its broadband maps, it said.
