The Digital Divide and Its Impact


North Carolina has the potential to emerge as a national leader in high-speed internet accessibility, with aspirations to rank among the top five states for adoption rates. Having access to high-speed internet is crucial; it opens doors by enhancing career opportunities, education, and healthcare resources. Ultimately, robust broadband facilities can transform the lives of individuals in both urban and rural communities, enriching their quality of life.

The initiative also emphasizes delivering essential infrastructure and technology services to communities that have historically been overlooked. Many areas, particularly in rural regions, struggle with limited internet access, which can stifle growth and innovation.

Commitment to Empowerment


eNCore’s commitment focuses not just on connection but on empowerment. The organization recognizes that for many communities, simply having internet access is not enough; these areas require tailored resources to fully engage and thrive in the digital economy. Through specialized resources, training, and support, eNCore aims to equip individuals and businesses to leverage technology for their benefit.

As eNCore moves forward, the collaboration between Fybe, MCNC, and the Roanoke Cooperative is seen as a pivotal step in addressing these imminent needs. By fostering partnerships and pooling resources, eNCore is well-positioned to create a meaningful impact on North Carolina's digital infrastructure journey.

A Vision for the Future


With an energized board and a committed leadership team, eNCore intends to initiate meaningful projects in underserved areas, setting in motion a wide array of programs targeted at fostering technological adoption and inclusivity. The overarching goal remains to ensure that no community in North Carolina is left behind in the digital race. Bo Coughlin affirms, "We are embarking on an exciting venture, working collaboratively to improve the conditions of those who most need our assistance. This is not just about technology; it’s about building stronger, more connected communities."

In summary, the advent of eNCore marks a new chapter for technology and connectivity in North Carolina, striving to integrate underserved populations into the broad narrative of digital progress. It stands as a beacon of hope for communities awaiting their turn for access, opportunity, and growth.
