We are dealing with the Digital Divide problem which has been exasperated during COVID-19 as workplaces and schools have shut down and forced people to work from home. As all entities are working together to solve this complex issue, it's extremely important to keep Digital Equity as a key principle. This requires granular data of broadband access, devices, and digital literacy at the household level. What challenges jurisdictions are facing in collecting the required datasets? What are the various approaches being followed to overcome these challenges?
