While internet speed, affordability and quality, and household access to internet-enabled devices are important factors that help us understand why certain populations do not have access to the internet, socioeconomic factors of income, age, and race are also important factors that help explain the digital divide.

Recognizing the importance of bridging the digital divide, the City of Toronto is developing a strategy to expand free public Wi-Fi access.
