    Without accurate depictions and data on how residents in rural, urban, and
    tribal lands are adversely impacted by the lack of available and sufficient
    high-speed broadband, certain populations will be left without sufficient
    online connectivity and remain on the wrong side of digital opportunities,
    particularly those populations already impacted by a range of historic and
    systemic inequalities throughout America’s rural South and Black Belt
    regions.
