Power and Free Broadband To the People

Posted by samzenpus on from the get-you-some-internet dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes Slashdot member and open source developer Ben Kallos @KallosEsq — who is now a NYC Councilman — is pushing to make it a precondition to Comcast's merging with Time Warner that it agree to provide free broadband to all public housing residents in the City (and by free I mean free as in beer). Kallos, along with NY's Public Advocate, Letitia James, is leading a group of state and local politicians calling on Comcast to help bridge the digital divide in NY.

    Perhaps you should consider moving back to Mother Russia, since you seem to appreciate the socialist state.
