Missouri Broadband Access Survey
Economic Development (DED) and the University of Missouri (MU) are conducting a survey to better understand the needs for internet broadband access statewide. The survey asks households about existing internet use – devices, connections, and applications – and barriers to use such as financial obstacles and training and assistance needs. The survey takes about six minutes and is open to all Missourians age 18 and up. Responses will be accepted through mid-May 2023
