The legislature finds the following:
(1) Computers and internet access, along with the ability to effectively use these technologies, are becoming increasingly important for full participation in America's economic, political, and social life.
(2) High-speed internet access is a key competitive factor for economic development and quality of life in the new global marketplace.
(3) Universal connectivity, particularly in rural areas, is needed for attracting new and expanding business and to facilitate education and training, health care, government services, and the democratic process.
(4) There exists a necessity to create a broadband advisory council in the state to close any digital divide that may exist for the citizens of Louisiana and to focus on the ability of rural areas to support the creation, retention, expansion, and recruitment of businesses.
