In order to help get everyone online, Comcast has chosen to provide reduced broadband access as well as affordable computer systems to low-earnings household over the US. Nice job, since it should not be just greater-ups taking pleasure in Caturday.
This program has been known as "Internet Necessities", and really arrives from the NBC Universal-Comcast merger from in 2009. Not too that actually diminishes this as being a good move. The service will readily available for families with kids who're qualified to get free lunches underneath the National School Lunch Program and who aren't already Comcast clients. They'll receive broadband running at 1.5Mbps, that is... well, pretty slow, but absolutely nothing to sneeze at, and also the choice to purchase a "netbook computer-style computer" for $150. Not terrible to get you began.
Comcast has been doing very good are an Web service provider thusfar. And they are already dealing with towns in places like Atlanta and Miami to obtain this initiative off the floor. The greater people online, the better. [Comcast via Mashable]
