"New York lags behind other states and the rest of the world in high-speed affordable broadband access," Spitzer told business and government leaders at Broome Community College near Binghamton. "There is simply no excuse for this digital divide," according to a copy of the speech. "We must make New York state the most connected and technologically advanced place to live and do business in the world."

He said the high-speed Internet services will boost business, education and medical care even in the most rural areas of the state.
