The Alliance for Digital Equality (ADE) brought together a prominent mix of policymakers, thought leaders, and media today at their 2nd annual Digital Empowerment Summit in Washington, DC: "The State of Underserved Americans in the Midst of the Broadband Revolution." The event, moderated by CNN's Roland Martin, featured community leaders and elected officials. All this in anticipation of the nation's first-ever National Broadband Plan.

The Digital Empowerment Summit included a national panel of experts who discussed the role of wireline and wireless broadband access and adoption in addressing some of the most critical issues facing underserved communities in our country today, such as access to a quality and affordable education, disparities in healthcare and economic development in low-income communities. Through thoughtful conversation, panelists worked to draw attention to these disadvantaged groups as the Federal Communications Commission develops a plan to achieve Broadband access and adoption for all Americans.
