Appendix A – NTIA Measurable Objectives (MO), California Objectives, Baselines and Targets
NTIA Measurable Objective A: The availability of, and affordability of access to, fixed and wireless broadband technology. | ||
---|---|---|
Objective | Current Baseline | Target |
Objective 1.1 – Increase percentage of Californians who are connected to broadband Internet service. | Using the NTIA and FCC’s data and broader eligibility criteria for served locations, California has an estimated 306,910 unserved locations (locations without 25/3 Mbps service) and an additional 151,107 underserved locations (lacking 100/20 Mbps service). A representative sample of Californians surveyed by telephone for this Plan, suggests that only 91% of Californians are connected, which results in an estimated 3.5 million Californians remain unconnected to internet service as a result of limited infrastructure, affordability issues, and other barriers.
Baseline connection data for covered populations include:
|
To the extent possible, all Californians who identify as a member of a covered population, have access to broadband service by 2030. |
1.2 – Increase the percentage of Community Anchor Institutions that are connected to broadband internet service. | As part of its planning process for the BEAD program, CPUC is evaluating current levels of connectivity among community anchor institutions in the state. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation report that there are approximately 3,000 Wi-Fi access points in deployed in its 33 facilities and 45 fire camps with no internet access, impacting incarcerated individuals’ ability to access the internet. | All Community Anchor Institutions, including schools, government entities (i.e., correctional facilities), healthcare institutions, libraries, public safety points and tribal lands, have access to gigabit service by 2030. |
1.3 – Increase the percentage of Californians who report that their internet service is reliable. | Eighty-two percent of telephone survey respondents report that internet service is adequate for their household needs.
Covered populations report the adequacy of their internet to be:
|
To the extent possible, all Californians, including those who identify as a member of a covered population, have access to reliable internet service that is adequate for their household and business needs by 2030. |
1.4 – Increase the percentage of Californians who have a choice of at least three internet service providers. | The CPUC’s 2018 Competition Report found that 35% of California households have access to only one provider offering service greater than 25/3 Mbps, and only 6.8% have access to three providers offering service greater than 25/3 Mbps | More than 6.8% of Californians have access to at least three internet service providers by 2030. |
2.1 – Decrease the percentage of Californians who cite cost as the primary barrier to internet service. | According to the telephone survey, “Cost is known to be the main factor that affects a household’s decision to adopt broadband service.” Sixty-one percent of telephone respondents and 70% of respondents to CDT’s online survey cite cost as the main reason for not having an internet connection at home.
Covered populations citing cost as a barrier include:
|
Reduce the percentage of households that cite cost as the reason for not adopting internet service by 2030. |
2.3 – Increase the percentage of Californians enrolled in low-cost internet options and subsidies. | As of February 6, 2024, 2,925,882 of 5,844,797 eligible households (50%) are enrolled in ACP. Seventy-seven percent of unconnected households are unaware of ACP and only 22% of online survey respondents are aware of low-cost options from internet service providers.
Results from the online public survey show enrollment rates for covered populations as:
|
To the extent possible, all ACP-eligible households, including those who identify as a member of a covered population, are enrolled in a low-cost plan by 2030. |
2.4 – Reduce the average cost that covered populations pay for internet service. | Californians spend an average $83.60/month on broadband, with notable variations among covered populations.
The covered populations that spend the most per month include:
|
Average costs are reduced for all covered populations and fewer households, including those who identify as a member of a covered population, cite cost as the reason for not adopting internet service by 2030. |
NTIA Measurable Objective B: The online accessibility and inclusivity of public resources and services. | ||
---|---|---|
Objective | Current Baseline | Target |
3.6 – Increase the percentage of Californians who utilize the internet to apply for or use public benefits and other essential services and can participate in civic and social engagement online. | Forty-six percent of telephone survey respondents – and only 21% of unconnected or underconnected respondents – use the internet for telehealth.;100F100F123 Fifty-five percent of online survey respondents rarely or never use the internet to apply for or use public benefits (e.g., CalFresh/Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Medi-Cal, Social Security, etc.)
Covered population respondents who stated they rarely or never use the internet to apply for or use public benefits include:
|
Increase the share of Californians, especially those who identify as part of a covered population or digitally disadvantaged community, who are able to utilize the internet to apply for or use public benefits and other essential services and can participate in civic and social engagement online by 34% by 2027, and by 50% by 2030. |
NTIA Measurable Objective C: Digital literacy | ||
---|---|---|
Objective | Current Baseline | Target |
3.1 – Increase the availability of digital literacy, cybersecurity, and skills training programs. | State and locally based digital literacy training providers have shared details of more than 270 programs currently offering digital training skills support in the state, with meaningful differences by geography. These are complemented by numerous other programs supported by CPUC, CETF, and other entities. CDT is continuing to build out its inventory of these programs statewide through implementation of this Digital Equity Plan.
The covered populations most interested in internet or computer training courses include:
|
Expand the number of Californians, especially those who identify as part of a covered population or a digitally disadvantaged community, who received digital literacy, cybersecurity, or digital skills training by 34% by 2027 and by 50% by 2030. |
3.4 – Increase the percentage of Californians who possess basic, intermediate, and advanced digital literacy skills. | Nearly one in three telephone survey respondents who lack broadband at home cite limited digital skills as one of the reasons for not subscribing to the service. Nineteen percent of online survey respondents are less than comfortable downloading and installing a new app on their smartphone or tablet, 17% are less than comfortable making an appointment online (e.g., DMV), and 15% are less than comfortable when paying bills online. Fifty-six percent of telephone survey respondents were found to have advanced digital skills.
The percentage of each covered populations that reported having advanced digital skills include:
|
Reduce the share of Californians, including those who identify as part of a covered population or digitally disadvantaged community, who lack basic digital literacy skills by 34% by 2027, and by 50% by 2030. |
NTIA Measurable Objective D: Awareness of, and the use of, measures to secure the online privacy of, and cybersecurity with respect to, an individual | ||
---|---|---|
Objective | Current Baseline | Target |
3.3 – Reduce the percentage of Californians whose concerns for privacy and cybersecurity prevents broadband adoption or effective use. | Twenty-two percent of online respondents are unfamiliar with cybersecurity; and 17% have no cybersecurity measures setup on their devices or do not know if they do.
The covered populations that are most unfamiliar with cybersecurity include:
|
Reduce the share of Californians, especially those who identify as part of a covered population or digitally disadvantaged community, whose concerns about privacy and cybersecurity impact their use of the internet by 34% by 2027, and by 50% by 2030. |
NTIA Measurable Objective E: The availability and affordability of consumer devices and technical support for those devices | ||
---|---|---|
Objective | Current Baseline | Target |
2.2 – Reduce the percentage of Californians who rely solely on a smartphone to use the internet due to devices being inaccessible and unaffordable and increase the percentage with a home computing device. | Three percent of respondents to the telephone survey rely solely on a smartphone – half of the percentage in 2021; 10% of online survey respondents only use a smartphone only to connect to the internet.
The covered populations that are the most reliant on a smartphone for connectivity include:
|
Reduce the percentage of Californians who rely solely on a smartphone and increase the percentage that have a home computing device by 25% by 2028 and by 50% by 2030. |
3.2 – Increase the percentage of Californians who have access to technical support services for internet-connected devices. | Twenty-two percent of online survey respondents say they do not have access to technical support services in their household or community. Covered populations without access to technical support services include:
|
Increase the amount of digital navigation services, which includes technical support for internet-connected devices, provided to all Californians, including those who identify as a member of a covered population, by 34% by 2027 and by 50% by 2030. |

Program 1 | We invite patients to work with bilingual staff on required internet databases and forms, necessary for healthcare maintenance. (e.g., register for vaccinations). We don’t distribute devices but make our devices accessible to patients as necessary so health services are available to all. |
Program 2 | Bilingual/biliterate staff happily serves as “trainers”, one-on-one, to accomplish digital tasks required to obtain healthcare access. It arose because people needed covid services which were tracked only through federal and state online databases. People began asking for help. Staff responded. In CA, covid services demanded internet data tracking. There was no other way to get care but to register online. Our help lines waited quite long for turns to register In 2020–so many were needy–but adaptation required acquisition of digital devices and internet access that few had available prior. Planada had no infrastructure for the low-income, mostly Hispanic residents to gain access. Our business was already wired for internet service. It’s much better in 2022! Planada has internet providers at last. Finally, privacy laws around patient information required staff to work individually with each patient. Trust developed. It helped us all get through those desperate years together. |

Program 1 | Homebase on G: This is an existing (2010 opening date) 39 unit apartment building and day treatment program, located at 513 North G Street in Lompoc. Free wired telephone service (like a PBX) was originally made available, as well as internet. Now 14 years old, in the project virtually no tenant (all formerly homeless and disabled) use the wired phones, and the demand on the internet (wired to each room) is extreme. |
Program 2 | Planned: Perkins Place: This is a new construction apartment project with 33 units in the town of New Cuyama. Internet service in New Cuyama is either satellite, Starlink, or relatively slow internet (dependent upon a central microwave transmitter). We are searching for a fiber optic or comparable high speed source (probably microwave at this point). The project will open in about 2 years. |
Program 3 | Camino del Salud (49 unit apartment building, to be built): This is a supportive housing residential facility, with 48 apartments and a resident manager. There is a day time staff of three professionals to provide support services to 24 formerly homeless tenants that were high frequency medical system users, and 24 “regular” low income tenants in studio apartments. There is an on-site meeting room, kitchen, laundry, and other facilities for the tenants as well as supportive service offices. The high speed internet needs to be available without charge and with training and support for this disabled population. |

Program 1 | We work with Senior Plant/Oats to provide training, funding came through HCBS state money but ends 12.31.23: State provided Ipads and data plans. We decided we didn’t want to give them out without in person class training to increase use of them. We connected with Senior Planet/OATS and had staff and volunteers trained to teach classes. We don’t have specific funding to pay a staff person to manage this program. So below, there is no annual budget per se. The devices and Wi-Fi are free until 12.31.23. We are receiving 50-100 more devices in the next month but that will the it. |
Program 2 | Senior Planet: trained volunteers provide in person classes to seniors on how to use iPad or Chromebooks. We don’t currently have a budget. Senior Planet provides us the training for free. It would be nice to have funding to hire a staff person to run and expand this program. We offer it in Del Norte and Humboldt but with staff could offer it in more areas in each county. |

Program 1 | Neighborhood Tech Connect: Broadband access and affordability is an integral part of Community Living Campaign’s Neighborhood Tech Connect program. We do not maintain a separate budget. We provide training, devices, and internet access to older adults and people with disabilities in San Francisco. In the last 11 months, we provided 4,798 hours of digital literacy training in Cantonese, Mandarin, English, and Spanish and 797 hours of tech support to over 820 individuals. In addition to training and support, we’ve provided participants with tablets, donated laptops, and assistive technology where needed. We expect to distribute 400 tablets made available through the SF Dept. of Disability and Aging/State of CA over the next 6 months. We also subsidize 6 months of internet access for a smaller number of participants through hotspots or Comcast Essentials and help participants sign up for other discounted internet options. We are funded to continue a portion of our digital literacy training but rely on one-time-only funds for devices, internet subsidies, and expanded training hours. |

Appendix O – Statewide Digital Equity Telephone Survey Methodology
The statewide telephone survey, conducted by the University of Southern California and coordinated by the California Emerging Technology Fund, reached more than 3,200 residents across the state by both cell and landline home phone numbers. It is the largest randomized sample ever conducted to determine the status of digital equity in the state.
The telephone survey is the random sample of all California residents to provide an accurate, statistically reliable data set about the status of Internet connectivity for input into the Digital Equity Plan. The telephone survey aimed to identify the unique challenges of those with limited or no access to broadband internet and digital resources. By conducting a widespread randomized telephone survey, the State captured insights directly from residents, ensuring their voices were heard and their specific digital equity needs were considered.
The survey questions included a focus on understanding Californians’ awareness of, and enrollment in, discount internet and subsidy programs such as the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP). The survey asked questions about connectivity status, telehealth use, digital skills, internet costs, and reliability and satisfaction with internet services. The telephone survey also gathered data on barriers preventing individuals and households from accessing broadband, such as affordability issues, geographical limitations, or a lack of awareness about available resources. It was designed to assess the digital needs and challenges faced by covered populations throughout California. Respondents were also asked a series of demographic questions to establish the respondent’s demographic characteristics and understand household-level characteristics.
The study is based on a multimodal methodology that combines RDD (random digit dialing) with text-to-web responses. Telephone interviews were conducted using a random digit-dialing (RDD) methodology that combined landline numbers and cell phone numbers, to obtain the most representative sample possible of all residents. Cell phone numbers included California area codes as well as non-California area codes to account for residents who migrated from out of state and retained their mobile number. Enriched data sources that are continuously updated and validated by over 200 authoritative sources were leveraged to confirm that all mobile numbers were within the state of California.
CDT decided to double the 2023 telephone survey sample to 3,200 households to “oversample” specific covered populations identified in IIJA, especially rural residents, low-income households, and people with disabilities. Specifically, surveys were conducted with phone numbers associated with rural counties to increase the number of respondents that are rural residents, with prepaid cell phone numbers to increase the number of low-income respondents, and with a list drawn from the California Department of Rehabilitation to increase the number of respondents with a reported disability.
A text-to-web campaign was further conducted from May 25, 2023, to June 21, 2023, that supplemented the telephone (RDD) data collection. A text message was sent to non-responders from the initial telephone attempt with a link to complete the questionnaire via web. This resulted in a multimodal survey (RDD + text-to-web).
