Broadband equity is at the forefront of today’s issues. Those that have the ability to access the internet regularly from home are given an opportunity to participate in countless social, work, and learning opportunities that those without access must forgo.

This paper contains a descriptive analysis of the overall broadband access equity of Lexington-Fayette county.
