Like many other rural towns across the country the residents of, Garrett County, Maryland, struggled to get connected to broadband. They were on the wrong side of the digital divide.

But, thanks to TV white space technology, they are now getting the broadband internet they desperately needed. Together, Microsoft and Declaration Networks Group have launched a partnership that uses TV white spaces, along with existing infrastructure in the area, to bring affordable broadband to the town’s underserved residents.

The stories we heard were inspiring, and we know this success could be duplicated across the country by removing the regulatory barriers standing in the way of TV white spaces. So, we made a video about Garrett County to show policymakers in Washington exactly how much is at stake.

We need your help to get Washington’s support to connect communities and bring opportunity to people like Jonathan and Connie. Will you take a minute and send them a letter?

Let’s close the digital divide.
