Abstract

Enterprise Electronic Government, or E2government represents the second stage of the reinventing government movement in the nation. In California, the state's strategic IT mission includes the encouragement of vertical and horizontal agency collaborations for best delivery practices of communications technology to the citizenry. The example of Project EdNet demonstrates how a less-advantaged community – Imperial County – is meeting this vision. The partnership between two governmental entities – the Imperial County Office of Education, and the Imperial County Irrigation District, was chosen for this article as the working example to examine how communications problems affect broad social issues such as the digital divide, democracy, and equity. The article shows that through the implementation of collaborative communications projects like Project EdNet, these problems were solved even in geographically remote, and resource-scarce communities in the nation.
