The Champaign-Urbana Open Access Coalition is a group of community organizations and individuals who are exploring the possibilities of open access to broadband and digital inclusion within Champaign-Urbana, focusing on the north end of C-U and surrounding rural communities. They aim to ensure that all of C-U is served by the recently passed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of ’09, which included $4.7 billion to fund broadband deployment in underserved areas.
