From the 2023 Digital Equity Strategic Plan Draft (September 29, 2023) | See Benton summary: A Digital Equity Plan to Connect All Kansans
Ensure all Kansans can enjoy their universal rights to education, healthcare, employment, social services, and participation in the digital economy at home. These rights hinge on equitable access to quality and reliable high-speed broadband at affordable prices, the training required to support digital skills, and the devices and sustainable technical assistance needed to strive and thrive across the entire state.
The vision laid out for digital equity will require the collaboration of the Digital Equity Advisory Council and various partners, thoughtful and effective planning, and responsiveness to change. Moreover, digital inclusion ensures all Kansans will have access to one of the most important tools for individual, economic, and community success: the internet.
