MultiState Associates, Inc., is a U.S.-based state- and local-government relations and procurement resource service. Mitch Gorsen, Vice President, Procurement Services, at MultiState contributes each week to the Business Opportunities data base at W2i.com. This is his first blog post. I publish MultiState Associates’ Government Wireless Business Opportunity and Public Safety Radio Business Opportunity Databases. I read the agendas, minutes, and budgets of thousands of cities, counties, universities, school districts, ports, and utilities in search of pre-RFP business opportunities. I also obtain and forward RFI’s and RFP’s and state master contract, to businesses throughout the United States. MultiState Associates advises businesses who sell just about everything to state and local governments, especially if the solution is expensive, controversial, or technically complex. Mitch Gorsen's list of ten favorite state and local broadband government markets: 1. Workforce mobility and administration that saves lives and generates cash/ROI: Healthcare, resident care, and homecare Revenue-generating government inspectors, licenses and permits; detect tax or workers compensation fraud and abuse; utility and parking meters  2.
