ABOUT THE CONNECT EVERYONE COALITION

The Connect Everyone Coalition is a broad-based coalition of leaders committed to educating the public and policymakers on the importance of using every tool in our connectivity toolbox to provide fast, affordable broadband access to everyone. A comprehensive, tech-neutral approach is the key to finally bridging the digital divide and connecting nearly 24 million Americans to the tools they need to live, work and communicate better.

The coalition supports an innovative, tech-neutral approach to expanding broadband access that takes full advantage of new technologies and connectivity options, including advances in low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband. We showcase the transformative power of LEO satellites’ ability to connect anyone, anywhere, and we support updating broadband strategies and modernizing space policy so unserved and underserved communities across our nation and world can fully benefit from this game-changing new option.

Our coalition is open to stakeholders who support global connectivity – education advocates, academic groups, first responders, rural community leaders, healthcare professionals and beyond. Everyone benefits from fast, affordable broadband.
