California Emerging Technology Fund
2016 Survey of Local Government Officials

Why This Survey Is Worth 3 Minutes of Your Precious Time

The California Emerging Technology Fund (CETF) sponsors the Annual Survey on Broadband Adoption in California to help inform policymakers and regulators.  The results of the 2016 Annual Survey show steady progress and sobering challenges to reach all communities in California and to get the most disadvantaged residents connected.  Local government leaders are very important to informing State elected officials and formulating public policy.  Please take a few minutes to provide anonymous feedback that can be compiled and shared with policymakers to augment the 2016 Annual Survey.
