National Digital Inclusion Alliance (NDIA) is a US nonprofit organization that brings together over 600 non-profit organizations, policy-makers, and academics to advocate for national access to broadband and to put an end to the multiple digital divides.
[4] NDIA argues that the US government needs "an organized federal strategy" to get broadband to rural and other underserved areas and have worked to support the expansion of the Federal Communications Commission's Lifeline program to expand to include broadband subsidies.
[10] NDIA uses data from the American Community Survey to highlight how many households in the U.S. lack "fixed broadband internet subscriptions" to create a list of America's worst connected cities.
[11][12][13] Using FCC broadband availability data, NDIA did a six-month mapping analysis of Cleveland neighborhoods showing the distribution of its highest and lowest internet speeds.
[16][17][18][19] Former FCC Chairman Ajit Pai used this report to encourage the creation of "Gigabit Opportunity Zones" in low-income areas in the U.S.[20][21]
