Digital Access for All Idahoans Plan Overview
Idaho’s first 5-year, statewide digital access plan was approved by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) in February 2024. The Digital Access for All Idahoans (DAAI) plan, along with the resources outlined on this page, aims to ensure Idahoans have access to information and communication technology vital for life in the 21st century.
Many Idahoans face barriers to digital access at a time when internet use is increasingly vital to the ability to thrive in every aspect of life like access to health care, education, business, and government services. The DAAI plan documents pervasive barriers to digital access and proposes a visionary strategy to end digital access divides that prevent many Idahoans from accessing crucial technology. The DAAI plan will increase broadband affordability for Idahoans, as well as improve digital skills, cybersecurity awareness, access to devices, technical support, and access to public services.
Some Idahoans must surmount especially steep barriers to digital access due to membership in groups that have traditionally been excluded from the benefits of technological advances, like rural residents, veterans, or older adults. The DAAI plan includes data on eight groups and considers the unique barriers and solutions for each.
