Foss: Can Cuomo fulfill his agenda? By Sara Foss | January 13, 2021

January 13, 2021 by l

 
“… That said, I couldn’t help but view Cuomo’s lofty plans with a measure of skepticism.

Take closing the digital divide, and the governor’s proposal that would mandate Internet providers make high-speed Internet plans available to low-income people for $15 a month.

I’m all for closing the digital divide, and for lowering the cost of high-speed Internet, especially for those who can least afford it.

But we’ve been down this road before, with mixed results.

The state launched a Broadband for All program in 2015, with a goal of bringing broadband to all New Yorkers by the end of 2018.

But that goal was not met – look no further than Duanesburg in rural Schenectady County to find a local community where a significant number of households are still without broadband – and the state’s digital divide persists.

Will this new push to close it succeed where the previous effort failed?

Only time will tell.

But I have my doubts.”
