Comment:
These comments are in support of funding greater digital
infrastructure and Digital Inclusion by the California Air
Resources Board (CARB) in the Draft Third Investment Plan for the
Cap-and-Trade Auction Proceeds and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund
(GGRF).

In 2014 California Broadband Cooperative completed development of
the Digital 395 project in the Eastern Sierra region of California.
  This broadband network has significantly changed education,
healthcare, tourism, and entertainment efficiencies in the region,
reduced travel by government entities and the traveling public, and
has seen substantial adoption of energy-saving technologies in
residential and commercial buildings with (Smart Home
technologies), in agriculture and forest management.

As networks are deployed elsewhere to bring the benefits of the
digital economy, we continue to witness rapid adoption of highly
efficient digital applications in agriculture, manufacturing,
transportation, education and healthcare that reduce carbon
emissions. The associated efficiencies from broadband have
substantial long-term promise to improve factors contributing to
pollution and global warning.
