State Delivers More Services Electronically

Use of broadband by the State is lowering the cost of government while improving service to citizens, most of whom are connected to broadband. One result is that the State needs fewer physical offices, since workers can be centralized in fewer locales, or in some cases decentralized, with State employees working at home. Most applications and forms can be filled out online and submitted electronically. Widespread deployment of broadband means that most people now can use these electronic services.
