50,000 Households Asked to Take 10‑Minute Survey
The NTIA Internet Use Survey will ask 50,000 households about their internet habits every two years. If selected, you may be asked to respond voluntarily and it takes about 10 minutes per response; the total estimated burden is 8,334 hours.
Survey Data Used For Broadband Policy And Public Dataset
NTIA will use the survey data to inform policies focused on broadband usage, and the Census Bureau will create a public‑use dataset that protects respondent confidentiality. That dataset will be made available by both agencies for researchers and other members of the public.
