Washington, DC (February 26, 2019) – The National Association of Counties (NACo), the Rural Community Assistance 
Partnership (RCAP) and Rural LISC (Local Initiatives Support Corporation) have partnered to address the critical need 
for affordable high-speed internet for rural communities across the country. Together, the three organizations 
developed a mobile app that gives mobile phone users the power to accurately identify areas with low or no internet 
connectivity and share that information to push for change. Armed with that data, the organizations will advocate for 
adequate funding for broadband infrastructure across the country.
