Throughout Riverside County – as well as across most of the country as a whole – large segments of our residents have no access to high-speed internet service. Most of these – approximately 58% of the total population living in these areas – reside in rural, unincorporated, and tribal communities. These Riverside County residents, numbering almost 100,000 in total, are the individuals most likely to fall behind in the 21st Century world of information, the 21st Century economy, and occupy that area known as the Digital Divide.
