5 HIGHLIGHTS OF NEEDS ASSESSMENT FINDINGS FOR THE MID-MO REGION 5
6 Common Themes The majority of the region has broadband options; however many of the networks are at capacity and the sectors see this as inhibiting potential in the region. Broadband use to support and grow technology based services in all areas: business, healthcare, libraries, K-12, higher education and workforce development are all seen as critical issues. Increasing digital literacy through outreach, education, and training. Three critical populations are the K-12 community, senior citizens and those seeking employment or career reinvention.
7 Common Themes Continued Federal mandates are directing broadband infrastructure development within the Health sector. Technical support and services for e-government, sector groups, businesses, and other organizations in the community that cannot afford their own network / broadband staff. Broadband is critical to the success of key operations of each Sector. All Sectors reported problems created by the lack of robustness on the available broadband networks and adoption with particular attention to rural areas.
8 Divergent Themes Lack of training and development opportunities based on sector and the constituencies each serves. Rural libraries, rural economic development, K-12 schools and libraries with limited broadband and computer availability. Real-time high-speed access: Healthcare provision of diagnostics and specialty care, as well as home health care. Agriculture access to critical market and weather information; Businesses access to workforce development and redundant networks to exchange data with national and satellite offices. Portable, mobile, remote access to the internet is critical to sectors such as: Agriculture, advancement of Business, and Energy as well as those dealing with rural services (Social, Professional, and Community). Particular lack of availability in rural pockets of the region.
9 Adoption Findings Broadband has been, or is being, adopted for critical operations by every sector profiled. Common protocols and standards are critical to effective cross-institutional broadband adoption. Speed, Cost and Choice are continuing barriers to the adoption of broadband. The use of broadband only fully facilitates service provision within any given sector when it is present throughout the service provision chain. While a number of sector respondents report sufficient broadband now, all see a variety of enhancements needed in the future to increase the nature, amount, and type of adoption. Where broadband is available and affordable but has not been adopted it is primarily due to the following: Lack of computer ownership; Cost of the service available; Lack of uniform, dependable of connections; Digital literacy relevancy / value gap; Lack of knowledgeable technical staff or services for hire. Broadband facilitated applications are compromised by the download speeds provided by not enough broadband capacity. 9
10 Availability Findings Pockets in rural areas, particularly those just outside of population centers, still face a lack of wire line access. Lack of broadband availability in critical portions of the broadband chain were noted by a number of sectors. For example, Economic Development growth delayed because robust broadband not available Healthcare end user locations disables the provision of tele-health and other on-line medical services and monitoring devices. Higher Education at remote sites and faculty, employee and student home locations. K-12 Education - creates similar problems to Higher Education, plus communications with parents who don t have access at home. Dependent on stressed services from local libraries for partnering Libraries at patrons home locations creates a high demand for library broadband access, which places greater demand on their broadband technology, connections, services, and applications. Local Government residential access limits the provision of on-line services Small Business / Entrepreneur at home inhibits the ability to remotely access systems. Workforce Development limits the use of broadband for online recruiting and matching of employees for efficiency. Lack of competition shortens list of availability options in type, speed, capacity and cost. 10
