圣迭戈市发布《宽带总体规划》 缩小数码鸿沟、让高速网络更普及、更便宜
圣迭戈市近日正式发布《宽带总体规划》，目标是扩大高速网络覆盖、降低上网成本，让全市居民都能用上可靠、优质、负担得起的网络。官方数据显示，全市宽带接入差距明显：像 San Ysidro 这样的社区，超过四成家庭没有订购宽带。
这份规划历时约四年完成，州政府提供 50 万美元技术援助拨款支持。制定过程中，市府与社区组织走访调研超过 1.3 万名居民，摸清各社区在网络接入、价格、设备和数码技能上的真实困难。规划提出优先投资落后社区、引入公私合作、盘活市政资产；现有的 SD Access 4 All 计划则继续提供 350 多处免费 Wi-Fi、低价电脑和图书馆移动热点借用等即时服务。对南县华人家庭来说，这意味着未来几年家里和孩子的上网条件有望实在改善。（GSM 据圣迭戈市政府官方新闻站摘编）
San Diego Releases Broadband Master Plan to Close the Digital Divide
San Diego has released a comprehensive Broadband Master Plan aimed at expanding high-speed internet access, improving affordability and advancing digital equity citywide. City data show stark disparities: in neighborhoods such as San Ysidro, more than 40% of households lack a broadband subscription.
Developed over about four years with a $500,000 State of California technical-assistance grant, the plan draws on outreach to more than 13,000 residents through surveys, focus groups, workshops and door-to-door visits. It prioritizes the communities left behind, explores public-private partnerships and puts municipal assets to work. The existing SD Access 4 All program continues to offer free Wi-Fi at over 350 locations, low-cost computers for eligible households and mobile-hotspot lending through libraries.
