Cable Companies to Offer $9.95 a Month Broadband to Fight Digital Divide
Microsoft and Cable companies are teaming up to get computers and broadband access to those on the other side of the “Digital Divide.”
I am all for this, but I am sure this isn’t just out of the goodness of the Cable Co’s heart. Which begs the question…. Why can’t the rest of us have $9.95 a month broad band access? That would be nearly $500 in personal economic value a year, for those of us paying $49.99 or more for broadband.
Just saying…
