Impact of High-Speed Internet on Government

Government serves citizens in numerous ways, from vehicle registration to the legislative processes. However, it is easy for citizens to feel a large amount of formality and separation from the everyday actions of state and local government.

In Tennessee, State Government has developed Tennessee.gov, a comprehensive website that provides services to all citizens reducing the difficulty and hassle of necessary government services. Visiting Tennessee’s website allows users to access state laws and regulations, locate the nearest hospital, renew driver’s licenses, perform TBI background checks, apply for unemployment services, and hundreds of other services.

Tennessee.gov was recently ranked as one of the top five state websites in the nation by Brown University’s annual e-government analysis.
