A public computing center (“PCC”) is a facility offering computers with internet access. It may also offer other devices, services, and digital literacy and digital skills programming, for example. A PCC may be funded in whole, or in part, with public dollars in order to provide a public service (i.e., access to digital inclusion resources). Some PCCs are open to the general public while others may have membership criteria such as age. As an inventory, and as feasible, OTI’s purpose was to collect, count, and map where and how the City supports this kind of public access to the internet.
