This document discusses a broadband initiative aimed at empowering communities through increased access to information and communication technologies (ICT). It would do so by establishing a network of computer clubhouses for youth, providing equipment and training to develop skills. This is intended to boost education, create new businesses and jobs, and underpin economic growth. It would link communities and councils through partnerships to expand ICT adoption and joint initiatives. The goal is to transform New Zealand's economic opportunities and export wealth by making ICT widely available and promoting local resources and people.
