The lack of communications services in Indian Country - be it high speed internet or "e;broadband"e;, traditional wireline phone service, mobile service, radio broadcast, or TV broadcast service - is well known. As the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has observed previously, "e;by virtually any measure, communities on Tribal lands have historically had less access to telecommunications services than any other segment of the population."e; The lack of robust communications services presents serious impediments to Tribal Nations' efforts to preserve their cultures and build their internal structures for self-governance, economic opportunity, health, education, public safety, and welfare. This book examines federal efforts to bridge the digital divide in Indian country with a focus on the internet infrastructure in native communities and equal access to e-commerce, jobs and the global marketplace.
