Comcast Launching $9.95 Low Income Broadband Plan

Posted by timothy on Saturday August 6, 2011 @09:25PM from the paternal-instinct dept.

MojoKid writes "Comcast is launching 'Internet Essentials,' a new initiative offering discounted Internet access and home computers to families that meet low income requirements. The program was mandated as a requirement of Comcast's acquisition of NBC Universal, earlier this year. In that way, it's very similar to AT&T's Naked DSL program, which AT&T was required to offer as a condition of its merger with BellSouth. Internet Essentials will be available wherever Comcast offers broadband, which means 39 states."

Access to internet is as essential now as access to drinking water and electricity.

Selfish bastards such as yourself can go back in your hole.
