About company

Technology has changed the way they communicate, work, learn, and get their news and information. With access to technology people can apply for jobs, take an online class, or connect with family and friends. Unfortunately, one in four District households does not have broadband service. They know that people who don’t have access to the Internet, can’t afford it, don't know how to use it, or don’t see why it’s important, are at a great disadvantage in an increasingly digital age. Created by the Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO), Connect.DC works to bridge this digital divide by making technology easier to use, more accessible, more affordable, and more relevant to the everyday lives of District residents. Together with their partners, they are working to ensure District residents can take full advantage of everything technology has to offer.
