Californians and Information Technology (PDF 1.47 MB)

This is the 87th PPIC Statewide Survey and the first in the Californians and Information Technology survey series, whose intent is to inform state policymakers, encourage discussion, and raise public awareness about a variety of information technology issues. This survey includes the responses of 2,503 Californians in multiple languages, on both landline and cell phones.

While the internet use and information technology is expanding, the digital divide is widening for some groups in California. This benchmark survey of Californians examines their access to information technology, including computer ownership, access to the Internet, and the use of mobile devices. The survey also looks at perceptions of the role of government in areas such as Internet regulation and broadband access and availability. The survey details results in five major regions in California, by race and ethnicity, between urban and rural communities, and among socioeconomic and political groups.

California Broadband Task Force (CBTF) Report  (PDF 6.47 MB) 

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger commissioned the California Broadband Task Force (CBTF) to “remove barriers to broadband access, identify opportunities for increased broadband adoption, and enable the creation and deployment of new advanced communication technologies.” The governor also requested that the CBTF “pay particular attention to how broadband can be used to substantially benefit educational institutions, healthcare institutions, community-based organizations, and governmental institutions.”

The Task Force’s final report, “The State of Connectivity – Building Innovation Through Broadband.”  This report represents the culmination of more than a year of work by the Task Force, and includes maps of current broadband availability and speed, recommendations to increase broadband access and use, and a timeframe in which to meet these critical goals.  The report is available online at www.calink.ca.gov/taskforcereport.
