Common Sense has released analysis of how universal connectivity benefits education, health care, government services, and employment. They look at three things:

• How Institutions Use Connectivity
• The Infrastructure Required to Innovate Essential Services
• How Federal Funds Can Close the Digital Divide and Ensure Equitable Access to Essential Services.

The whole report is interesting but for most readers I think the last section will be of particular interest. They give step-by-step recommendations on how states can maximize impact by:

• Building State Capacity
• Mapping the Divide
• Planning with Institutions
• Promoting the ACP
• Creating Sustainable Funding and Policies
