[1st-mile-nm] Internet Access and the New Divide - NYTimes.com

[Richard Lowenberg]

 The article David is posting to this list was in the Times
 two weeks ago, and immediately generated a lot of attention
 and discourse.     If you haven't yet read it, take a look.
 Susan Crawford is very smart and perceptive.

 Apologies if this Dec. 4 piece has already been posted; some very good 
 observations, IMHO:

 Increasingly, we are a country in which only the urban and suburban 
 well-off have truly high-speed Internet access, while the rest — the 
 poor and the working class — either cannot afford access or use 
 restricted wireless access as their only connection to the Internet. As 
 our jobs, entertainment, politics and even health care move online, 
 millions are at risk of being left behind.
