Eugene, Oregon & Lafayette, Louisiana received Gigabit Community Funds (https://muninetworks.org/content/gigabit-community-funds-coming-lafayette-and-eugene?utm_source=Community+Broadband+Networks+Newsletter+List&utm_campaign=b6bc11fdc3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_171bbbcade-b6bc11fdc3-82753625) to bolster connectivity in their communities.

A new report from the National Digital Inclusion Alliance (https://digitalinclusion.org/?utm_source=Community+Broadband+Networks+Newsletter+List&utm_campaign=b6bc11fdc3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_171bbbcade-b6bc11fdc3-82753625)  and Connect Your Community (http://connectyourcommunity.org/?utm_source=Community+Broadband+Networks+Newsletter+List&utm_campaign=b6bc11fdc3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_171bbbcade-b6bc11fdc3-82753625)  concludes that the telecom giant AT&T has redlined low-income neighborhoods in Cleveland. The company has cherry-picked higher-income neighborhoods for new technology investments and skipped over neighborhoods with high-proverty rates.

AT&T’s Digital Redlining (https://digitalinclusion.org/blog/2017/03/10/atts-digital-redlining-of-cleveland/?utm_source=Community+Broadband+Networks+Newsletter+List&utm_campaign=b6bc11fdc3-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2016_12_06&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_171bbbcade-b6bc11fdc3-82753625) , uses publicly available data from the FCC and the American Community Survey to expose how AT&T has failed to invest in low-income communities in Cleveland.
