Bridging the digital divide — or making sure each home has access to broadband internet — may be within San Antonio's reach after years of work.
The federal government has channeled billions of dollars to states to address this issue and Texas will be making grants later this year.
The Digital Inclusion Alliance of San Antonio is hosting a meeting Thursday at the San Antonio Water System headquarters to discuss its myriad efforts.
Its keynote speaker is longtime consumer advocate Gigi Sohn.
Sohn was nominated to the Federal Communications Commission but failed to be confirmed due to overwhelming opposition by telecom companies.
TPR interviewed her about what San Antonio should do about its digital future, her failed fight to be confirmed to the FCC and why she wouldn't change it.
