Bridging the Digital Divide One Community at a Time
Consumers Union’s “Connected” project Ñ available at www.HearUsNow.org/connected Ñ showcases several of the country’s most successful Community Internet projects. Covering a range of projects from free, wireless Internet access set up by local community groups in some Chicago neighborhoods to a 14-town broadband network in Utah, “Connected” discusses the hurdles that were overcome to build these systems and seeks to provide other communities with examples of ways to build similar networks.
