"We ask questions about the computers and devices that people use, whether people access the internet, and how people access the internet to create data about computer and internet use. We added these questions in 2013 as a requirement of the Broadband Data Improvement Act of 2008. They help federal agencies measure the nationwide development of broadband access and decrease barriers to broadband access."
