If you look at the families who live below the poverty line, only 47% of them have internet access at home. And of that low income population, they are disproportionately urban and people of color, which makes it a social justice issue.
If we hold onto our American ideals, we’ve got to make sure that all opportunities are available – including access to the internet – no matter what income level you’re at or where you live.
I believe we’re past the point where the government or the private sector can solve all problems, it’s all about partnerships.
I live by statistics, so if look at U.S. Census statistics regarding families making over $100,000 dollars a year, 93% of them have broadband internet at home.
