Susan Crawford recently wrote in the New York Times about the ongoing and increasing digital divide in America. She says that Internet access for Americans will be a major factor in our economic competitiveness in the future.
She says,
“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.”
