Certainly regions which have been neglecting internet infrastructure directly or indirectly will be at a disadvantage, including economically. This is hardly news. The pandemic also made it more obvious to many people that fiber build-out is a must, since latency and upload also matter for remote conferencing, not just download speeds. As for adversaries or natural disasters, internet rarely works without electricity. In the small scale, my guess would be internet barely increases the weak spot that is already present via electricity. In the large scale, it doesn't matter if someone is in the office or an hour away.
