“…Even in a wealthy country, such as the United States, although 93% of the population is online, 23% still do not own a large‐screen (i.e., desktop or laptop) computer (Pew Research Center, 2021a, 2021b). Vulnerable populations in particular (e.g., low‐income groups, the unstably housed, the chronically ill) have much to gain from having reliable, individual access to a large‐screen computing device, such as a laptop or desktop computer (Araque et al, 2013; Federal Communications Commission National Broadband Plan, 2021; Gonzales, 2016; Levine & Donitsa‐Schmidt, 1996). In short, although policies to improve broadband access are important, policies that help ensure the availability of low‐cost devices are also essential.…”
