Ledyard King and Mike Stucka USA TODAY NETWORK As federal officials debate pouring billions of dollars into broadband access, data suggests many of Florida s schoolchildren and adults who preferred to work from home spent the pandemic with sub-par access to high-speed internet, particularly in the state s least-wealthy counties. Advocates say that digital divide across the United States is due largely to two factors: a lack of internet infrastructure in the country s rural reaches and the relatively high cost of broadband that has made the service unaffordable for many in urban centers. In about half of Florida s counties 34 of 67 measured by a Federal Communications Commission study, broadband access is available to at least 92% of residents. Yet in about half of the state measured by Microsoft 34 of 67 counties no more than 45% of households actually have high-speed access, a USA TODAY analysis shows.
