AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution urges the Public Utilities Commission, Hawaii's government body that oversees utility companies, to create a quick and simple system for reviewing applications from electric utilities that want to offer "middle mile" broadband services. Middle mile broadband refers to the network infrastructure that connects the main internet backbone to local internet service providers, and by leveraging existing infrastructure owned by electric utilities, the state aims to make it easier and more affordable for internet providers to deliver broadband to areas that currently lack adequate service, thereby promoting digital equity and ensuring more residents can access opportunities like remote work and learning.
