National Broadband Plan: Digital Divide's Impact on Internet Access for Seniors and Minorities

[vechorik]

YOU CAN GET INTERNET ACCESS AT ANY PUBLIC LIBRARY!!!!! We tax payers are ALREADY paying for free internet for anyone that can’t afford it!

[TheDigitalDynamo]

@vechorik I have to agree - it should be free good comment and thanks!



[radiogaga601]

Now! this is information! great information like should be in the headlines or in tv!

Thanks for sharing this and God bless.

Keep those videos coming.

[TheDigitalDynamo]

@radiogaga601 she the National Broadband agenda is still in its infancy.

[23MJLegend]

cable cost seem to keep going up and Im still keep on wondering when it will go down?

thanks for the heads up

[TheDigitalDynamo]

@23MJLegend probably never - until a competitor brings their cost down. Time will tell.

What if I am not a senior? what will be the next thing I need to do when i contact my cable company?

[TheDigitalDynamo]

@JayT519 You can determine what group of cable programming channels you can do without and purchase the limited packages. Cable companies really don't what you to know about these. but they are available.

[JB3663]

Cable companies constantly overcharge! But I dont have a choice but after seeing this video, the more I am interested to know about the lifeline

great info will try this

[NoelTheFourth21]

Does this plan work for Satellite as well? or just for cable?

[TheMindseye12]

WOW, how long has this Lifeline be available?

Great information. Everyone should know this video.

[artcafe1000]

I love this information.

I just shared this to my facebook account and twitter.

Hope my grandparents can see this. This is really helpful!

Thanks

[NoelTheFourth21]

@artcafe1000 You can say that again. I also posted this video on blog so I can share it to my friends. I wrote an article as well about it. Hope you dont mind. Just love the idea and the information. We owe you a lot.!

[MrJimb007]

Is this plan available from all cable companies?

I just want to know if all companies can do this or do maybe you have a list that can do.

[JP21able]

Did not know about this, thank you

[MyLakergirl24]

I just want to ask, So what is the FCC doing?

[TheJunep26]

Good point on the LifeLine Plans.

Very well said.

[dsurfer93]

Wondering how this national broadband impacts the rural communities?

[ojuice42]

Very Interesting video.

Looking to learn more about the Digital Dynamo, thanks

[dsurfer93]

@ojuice42 Same here ojuice42.

[virusa11]

The National Broadband Plan nationally needs to strengthen its outreach. Again thanks for sharing this video to us.

[TheMindseye12]

The Lifeline plan is important for seniors on fixed income -

This is a good news for everyone. Good Job

[TheDigitalDynamo]

@TheMindseye12 Absolutely, many consumers are not aware that all cable companies offer this service that can start at $15 for cable basic service. This can be a tremendous savings for many underserviced seniors.

[TheJunep26]

@TheDigitalDynamo Loved it!

[JP21able]

@TheDigitalDynamo I will definitely check your website. Thanks for sharing this to us

[JB3663]

@TheDigitalDynamo You can say that again!

[TheCp774]

This is great information, Cable companies overcharge customers too much. I know all of you will agree with me.

[TheDigitalDynamo]

@TheCp774 yes Cable Bills tend to be predatory by adding unnecessary charges that consumers miss each month. Personally over 2 years, I have gotten Comcast to credit me back over $500 in over charges. If this is happening to me - can't imagine seniors experiences.

[MyLakergirl24]

@TheDigitalDynamo I can say the same thing they really love charging us that we even dont have any idea.

[TheMindseye12]

@TheDigitalDynamo Im a senior and I totally agree with you at least I know now there is a life line plan.
