National Broadband Resource Center

The National Broadband Resource Center (formerly Alliance for Public Technology) is a non-profit collaboration of organizations representing a broad range of constituencies dedicated to promoting broadband adoption.

The NBRC is dedicated to educating and connecting community-based, non-profit organizations with resources and to serve as a facilitator of innovative, relevant broadband applications.

As APT/NRBC brings its operations to a close we invite you to celebrate 20 years of success with present and former staff, supporters, award winners and public officials. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE »

The National Broadband Center (NBRC) cuts across conventional constituency differences and application areas with a diverse team of non-profit partners to promote the inter-related benefits of broadband applications. This approach enables the center to reach a far greater number of communities and individuals than would otherwise be possible and ensures the appropriateness and usability of its programs and materials.
