FCC is doing research on broadband acceptance by low income people
Stan Pokras
Marie Pharaoh" <Marie....@fcc.gov> is traveling the country
visiting selected cities to gather information on how low-income
people are gaining access to broadband Internet services. Her
research will be included in a report that the FCC will be making to
Congress early next year.
She visited my organization on Friday and seemed to find our work
closely aligned to her research mission. I told her about the
http://www.Techsoup.org/mar locating tool and I have recommended to
her that she join this list to find refurbishing groups in other
cities she might wish to visit.
