Re: curing the symptom? said by compton:said by tapeloop:Maybe it's just me, but wouldn't it behoove the NYC politicos to apply their efforts toward solving the problem of economic disparity first before worrying about the "digital divide"? It appears that the more disposable income a household has, the more likely that household is able to afford broadband access. While I'm very much in favor for affordable broadband for all of America, it seems like this task force in NYC is a bit misguided. Maybe high speed access to the internet will help close the economic gap between poor and the middle class. Exactly. See my points above. |

Exactly. See my points above. I must've missed your "points above" kamm; I didn't see anything you said that would warrant precluding other methods of equalizing economic disparity in favor of all-out broadband.
So why broadband before everything else? Is it the magic bullet to end poverty?

No, it's one of the magic bullets which makes sure poor kids will push you out every work you get... Maybe your grammar is slipping today, but are you trying to say that broadband will instantly create poor kids who will push us out of a job? Help us out here.
