Bridging the Digital Divide

Empowering Communities Foundation, Hotwire Communications' charitable organization, goes beyond advocating for broadband access for all by acting now to dismantle a future digital divide. Whether the digital divide is driven by long-standing inequities or emerging global crises, we are redefining the bounds of community to ensure that everyone has access to the internet—whoever they are and wherever they live.
