Dear [TARGET],
As a local community member, I'm writing to urge you to clear the way for a 5G network and lay the foundation for connecting residents in our community. The benefits to the people who live and work here, to the locally owned small businesses, to the students who need high-speed internet to study, to anyone seeking to improve their digital literacy skills — to the entire community, in fact — are simply too great. We have an opportunity to be one of the first areas in the country to get 5G service, and position our community as a regional and national leader in civic technology and innovation. The opportunity is staggering:
- 5G will supercharge local job growth — With the potential to attract new businesses, it's estimated 5G will create some 3 million jobs across communities that build 5G and inject $500 billion into the national economy.
- 5G will improve city services, transportation and public safety — First responders could coordinate faster, sharing vital emergency information in real-time. Smart pavement and traffic lights could cut congestion. We can make our streets and neighborhoods safer for cyclists and pedestrians using intersection traffic monitoring and management technologies, better security monitoring and smart lighting.
- 5G will lower health care costs while elevating care — Virtual health care potential could be raised to new levels, and 5G could make remote care even more effective and accessible to those who need it most.
- 5G will provide a powerful tool to help close the digital divide — With this revolutionary competitive service, we can make concrete progress toward serving residents across the East Bay with high speed internet, not just those in affluent neighborhoods. It could be the first step to bringing state-of-the-art network connectivity to public schools and community colleges across the region, and helping make sure children and adults are not left behind in our rapidly transforming digital economy.
This is your chance not only to deliver for constituents, but to demonstrate thought leadership and be part of transforming our region into a national Smart City and digital equity leader. Please do whatever you can to help deliver a real, citywide 5G network for our community.
Sincerely,
[SIGNER]
