Internet for Everyone

I just joined Internet for Everyone, a coalition of individuals and organizations who believe that

"High-speed Internet, or "broadband," is one of the most transformative communications technologies in human history. In just over a decade, broadband has completely changed commerce, public discourse, and how we interact with each other and the rest of the world. Broadband is no longer a luxury—it’s a public necessity."

I was frustrated to learn that there is a growing class division in access to broadband, i.e. only 35 percent of homes with less than $50,000 in annual income have broadband, while 76 percent of households earning more than $50,000 per year are connected.

Democracy is a mute point if people lack access to public discourse and the public domain.
