Comment:
These comments are in support of funding greater digital infrastructure and Digital Inclusion by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in the Draft Third Investment Plan for the Cap-and-Trade Auction Proceeds and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF). In 2014 California Broadband Cooperative completed development of the Digital 395 project in the Eastern Sierra region of California. This broadband network has significantly changed education, healthcare, tourism, and entertainment efficiencies in the region, reduced travel by government entities and the traveling public, and has seen substantial adoption of energy-saving technologies in residential and commercial buildings with (Smart Home technologies), in agriculture and forest management. As networks are deployed elsewhere to bring the benefits of the digital economy, we continue to witness rapid adoption of highly efficient digital applications in agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, education and healthcare that reduce carbon emissions. The associated efficiencies from broadband have substantial long-term promise to improve factors contributing to pollution and global warning.
