In a speech delivered at the Personal Democracy Forum in New York City, Eliot outlined his plan to launch a statewide broadband initiative so every New Yorker has access to high-speed, affordable Internet.
Eliot pointed out that, "If you're a kid growing up in South Korea, your Internet access is ten times faster at half the price than a kid growing up in the South Bronx. New Yorkers are at a competitive disadvantage that is simply unacceptable... In the 21st Century, Internet access is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity...That's why today I am proposing that New York launch a comprehensive statewide broadband initiative to ensure universal access to affordable, high-speed broadband service for every New Yorker. We must make New York State the most connected and technologically advanced place to live and do business in the world. The problem isn't a lack of resources, it's a lack of imagination and a lack of leadership.
