Policy debates about the digital divide often focus on the availability and quality of Internet access, despite the fact that device inequities are persistent and widespread. To address this important but often overlooked policy concern, we present findings from a systematic literature review of policy research that informs the supply of low‐cost, large‐screen computers. Using the framework of multisolving innovations , we explore policies from across three disparate sectors—e‐waste, right‐to‐repair, and digital inclusion—to determine whether any of these policies can serve as cross‐sector solutions that work simultaneously to help reduce digital inequalities and e‐waste, while strengthening secondhand device labor markets. As a result, we highlight a wide range of policies that would optimize both the supply and distribution of affordable devices to low‐income consumers and, at the same time, broaden the base of stakeholders invested in digital equity
