Share As the COVID-19 pandemic has forced the migration of public instruction and areas of commerce online, it has also highlighted the digital divide between those who do and don’t have reliable high-speed internet. Currently, about 18.3 million Americans, many in rural areas, lack access to high-speed internet. The Federal Communications Commission estimates that 650,000 South Carolinians don’t have access to broadband internet, including more than 552,000 who live in rural areas.
