Project to Build Broadband for Low Income Homes
In this very short article written by Shawn Young, its outlines the plans to build rental homes for about 100,000 people with low incomes. Local Initiatives Support Corp. is the company that has proposed this plan, which is call Access@Home. The chairman is the former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin. This program will also train the people that rent these homes in computers, such as how to use the internet, how the use the computer for word processing and other applications. It also helps them get up to date computers in the rental homes for the people.
I believe that this project is very important and helpful. The world is become techonoligically advanced and computers are heavily relied on. With the availability of computers and education in the applications these people will be able to have a better chance at getting better jobs and also more sources of information. In the article it talks about how the children will also benefit by having the internet as an extra resource for learning even though they might have access at school now they will have access at their home. It also talks about how more anbd more jobs are only available online and if they have the access and the education they will have a better chance at better jobs.
