Everyone deserves access to affordable, high-speed internet.

The internet has become a major part of most people’s daily lives. You can shop, bank, find a job, see your doctor, apply for Medicare and Social Security, apply for a building permit, watch movies, connect with friends and relatives, and thousands of other things, without leaving your home. Unfortunately, the world is becoming divided into internet “haves” and “have nots.” Those that have fast internet access and know how to use it can fully participate in today’s digital economy. The “have nots” have no access to these online tools, and must, at best, do all of those things in person, or at worst, not at all. Those without fast internet access are falling behind, economically and socially.

The North Bay / North Coast Broadband Consortium was created to help close the Digital Divide in Sonoma, Mendocino, Napa and Marin Counties.

The Mission of the North Bay / North Coast Broadband Consortium (NBNCBC) is to ensure the needs for broadband access and adoption are met in every corner of our four counties. NBNCBC’s top priority and immediate focus is on bringing broadband services to the unserved and underserved areas.
