Broadband expansion in affordability, access, and accessibility issues was amplified by the pandemic. Increased pressure to provide better digital broadband solutions will gain greater attention and action. The digital divide and issues of digital equity was further exposed as many school-aged children who lacked adequate broadband were unable to keep up with their classmates. Moreover, the pandemic revealed additional shortcomings where families found the broadband they had was no longer adequate to support a family staying mostly at home. And in numerous cases, many local government workers found themselves without adequate broadband coverage based on either where they lived, or because of limited plans in their area. Expanded broadband can be achieved through building mini-Wi-Fi systems where legal, provide equipment to the underserved, public private partnerships with telecom providers, and subsidized broadband plans.
Greater local state collaboration - especially in cybersecurity will increase as the need to share, collaborate grows. Many state CIO’s have indicated a desire to include local governments in their strategic planning and have expressed a strong desire to do more by way of service offerings, information sharing, and group purchasing. Among the priorities, cybersecurity always comes up first.
