| In
the information age communities that are connected to the global
information network have the best chance of sustained economic prosperity.
As state government provides more and more services online, the ability
to access these services through faster connectivity becomes critical.
Governor Leavitt
desires to provide universal
broadband Internet access statewide. Broadband will enable
a more frictionless government, where access to desired information
and services happens quickly and conveniently from a users home
or business. The governor, and Chief
Information Officer are working with both private and public
broadband experts to find ways to encourage providers to offer
broadband access to even the smallest rural community. A rancher
in Juab County needs the advantages of access, speed and convenience
as much as the banker in Ogden.
