Re: .

This isn't Internet access. It's unlimited local telephone service.

Poor poeple need a lot more than Internet access. They need to improve their situation through education and obtaining a better job. Granted, some won't be qualified for better work regardless of the program but Internet access?

No I'm not on the low income thing.

But, poor people need internet access too. I'm glad CA provides low income and low priced service.

I asked why poor folks would get unlimited local service on the cheap. Are you claiming to be income disadvantaged? Under your avatar it lists two DSL providers. Do you have two DSL accounts? If you do, how can you claim to be disadvantaged?

I consider income disadvantaged people as those who cannot provide for themselves the basic necessities (food, shelter, medical care). Because the general public (i.e. the government) likes to consider itself humane, social programs are available to help these people. The last time I checked these programs don't guarantee friends, family, love or a job. If these things aren't guaranteed, what good is a phone beyond life-line service? Why would CA do this?
