yeah what is that, like maybe turning 2 or 3 tricks down on the corner? Shouldn't be too hard to get that kind of scratch. |

Gotta agree. This is cheaper than any other service out there. People should be clamoring for it at that price. |

There are many people who expect everything for free.
They feel they are entitled to it. They aren't forking over $300 or even the sign up fee.
No, they will raise allegations later on of being ignored or left out or discriminated against and then wait to get it for free. |

But for some who a barely keeping the rent paid, or eating decently, or paying for meds, another $25 a month + say, equal or more amount for a computer and software (remember these are unlikely to be really the most computer literate shoppers, and without internet now online shopping is tough, so a chunk of peeps are left with the library or school or perhaps a charity to start with. You may think it's a no brainer (and this is the crowd that would definately benefit from the learning side of the net) but for a fair number it's beyond their current means, or beyond their scope of importance. |

Well it's interesting that the low income areas that have mostly low income immigrants are getting enough registrations - both in KCMO and KCK. It would seem that low income immigrants see more of an 'American Dream' opportunity than non-immigrant low income areas. Is interesting the anthropological aspects Google's experiment exposes. |

True, but even people I know who are low paid working stiffs still have Internet and Cable TV.
When I used to be one of them my Apartment complex took Section 8, and they ALL had Cable TV back then, either legitimately or stealing it, but no way they went without.
Priorities, I guess. BS, I call it.
I make good money now and don't have cable TV at all, but I consider Internet access essential. |
